Description
Delamere Vineyards is one of Tasmania’s longest running family owned and operated wine estates, focused on producing distinguished sparkling (Methode Traditionelle) and still wines from the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay varieties. Nestled amongst the cool maritime slopes of Pipers River, in north eastern Tasmania, the vineyard was first established in 1982 placing it amongst the oldest vineyards in the region. With 6.5ha of grapes now established on the property, the age of the vineyard makes it a rare resource in Tasmania, and valuable due to the significant increase in wine quality associated with mature vines. The winery is owned and run by husband and wife vigneron’s Shane Holloway and Fran Austin (formerly of Bay of Fires).
From the winemakers: “Tasmania is the playground of the adventurous, with a plethora of creative opportunities. Flyleaf provides us with a blank page to explore alternative sites and start a new story. The epitome of elegance with ripe cherry and strawberry fruit. A subtle earthiness followed by complex toasted sweet spice.”
Review for 2019 “Flyleaf is the vinous playground where the folks at Delamere experiment with the grape varieties they love. Here it is pinot noir: hand picked, wild-yeast fermentated and 30% whole bunches. It’s a bright-eyed little thing with a scintillating cadence, airy cherry and raspberry fruits and some wild, Campari-esque amaro and spice notes on the bassline. Cool drinking with a decidedly spacious feel and vivid line.” 92 points, Dave Brooks, Halliday Wine Companion
