Vibrant Ruby colour. Ripe red cherries and plum notes with lifted spice. Intense fruit characters of cherry, plum and ripe red berries, lingering savoury and spice characters, with ripe fine tannins giving this wine lovely length.
Nocton Vineyard was established in Tasmania's Coal Valley in 1999 (Domaine A's Peter Althus provided early consultancy services), largely to supply the growing market for premium pinot noir into China. The property was originally part of the Carrington Plains estate (c1814), owned by a succession of early Governors of Van Diemans Land.
This is classic Coal Valley Pinot Noir. While the majority of this vintage was cool-tank fermented to preserve its bright and youthful fruit flavors, 15% was matured in old wood, enhancing the wine’s savoury notes.

Bright red and dark-cherry fruits with deeper tones of dark plum. Set on a bed of fine spice, forest floor, berry compote and light, earthy notes. Fine, lacy acidity provides propulsion for a wine that finishes long, pure and moreish.
