Dalrymple Pinot Noir 2021

Drink it now or cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant.

Founded in 1987 by Anne and Bertel Sundstrup, Dalrymple Vineyards is located in the northeast of the island of Tasmania in the acclaimed Tamar Valley region near the Piper River. Here, where nature has an extraordinarily wild aspect, the Sundstrups have planted vines with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, for the production of high-quality wines.

The grapes for the Dalrymple Pinot Noir come from different blocks, with different characteristics and clones, and this diversity contributes to the creation of a unique final blend characterized by an extraordinary balance. In the Pipers River vineyards, the northern maritime position guarantees concentration and structure in the wine. In those of the Coal River Valley, the southernmost position favors the production of wines with good roundness. The finished wine is aged in French oak barriques for 12 months.

The wine reveals a beautiful, rather deep, dark red color. The aromatic profile is intense with notes of violet and aromas of strawberries and cherries, hints of undergrowth, fresh herbs, anise, and cedar. On the palate, it is rich and expressive, concentrated and velvety. It is an elegant and characteristic Pinot Noir with a long and pleasant finish. It is the ideal wine with roast duck or creamy mushroom risotto.
