Derwent Estate Lime Kiln Point Pinot Noir 2023 is an early-release, café-style Tasmanian Pinot Noir of genuine freshness and character — sourced from three vineyards across the Derwent Valley, Coal River Valley, and a 35-year-old dry-grown site in the Hillwood area, all managed with VSP trellising and hand-picked. Pure, fresh primary fruits dominate, with well-structured tannins and lively acidity providing the support for a wine that is as compelling now as it will be with further cellaring.

Appearance

Bright, clear ruby — the vivid, youthful colour of a Tasmanian Pinot Noir picked at the point of maximum primary fruit freshness.

Aroma

Lively and crisp — vibrant raspberry and mulberry lead a fresh and expressive bouquet, with cherry and red fruit adding depth and the kind of pure, primary fruit character that defines this early-release style at its best.

Palate

Rich cherry and berry fruits open a palate that is delicate yet full-bodied, with powdery tannins and lively acidity providing excellent structure and support. Subtle oak notes add a quiet complexity without ever overshadowing the primary fruit. A refined yet full-flavoured Pinot Noir that rewards both the glass and the cellar.

Pairs With

Chilli mussels, salmon and fatty fish, roast chicken, and pasta. A versatile and food-friendly Tasmanian Pinot Noir that suits the table as much as the occasion.
