Apsley Gorge Pinot Noir 2022

The Apsley Gorge Pinot Noir 2022 showcases the exceptional character of this small, yet distinguished vineyard located in the unique micro-climate near Apsley Gorge National Park on Tasmania’s east coast. The cooler, wetter vintage of 2022 produced a Pinot Noir with a typically dark, translucent hue, offering a glimpse into its rich and complex nature. The nose reveals the signature Apsley Pinot fruit, alongside a distinctive and intriguing note of charcuterie, earthiness, and subtle layers of complexity that push through, creating a multi-dimensional aromatic experience.

On the palate, this wine delivers on the promise of its nose. A powerful entry fills the mouth with rich, ripe fruit, balanced by complex, textural tannins and the enigmatic mystery that only Pinot Noir can provide. The wine's depth is enhanced by the exceptional winemaking practices of Brian Franklin, whose nearly 40 years of experience in both Burgundy and Tasmania shines through. With a harmonious balance of finesse, texture, and natural acidity, this Pinot Noir offers a captivating drinking experience that is exceptional both in its youth and as it continues to evolve over the years.
