      From Tasmania’s rugged east coast, the 2022 Apsley Gorge Pinot Noir in magnum captures both site and season with striking clarity. Sourced from vines tucked near the entrance to Apsley Gorge National Park, this vineyard benefits from cooling afternoon breezes that temper ripening and extend the growing season. The cooler, wetter conditions of 2022 brought restraint and freshness, while still allowing depth and character to develop in the fruit.

      On release, the wine shows the signature Apsley Pinot perfume alongside charcuterie, earth and spice, layered with intrigue and detail. The palate delivers rich, ripe fruit with a textural tannin frame, balanced by natural acidity that keeps the wine taut and focused. In magnum, the expression takes on greater poise and longevity, offering an evolving drinking experience that rewards patience. It is a Pinot Noir that reflects nearly four decades of Brian Franklin’s Burgundian-influenced craft, complex, savoury, and built to age gracefully.

      Apsley Gorge

      Brian Franklin, the owner and winemaker of Apsley Gorge, brings a wealth of experience to the craft of winemaking. After initially training under Philippe Charlopin, one of Burgundy’s most respected winemakers, Brian’s winemaking journey led him to the Apsley Valley. His expertise in the French tradition of winemaking, combined with his nearly 40 years of experience in both France and Australia, has shaped the wines of Apsley Gorge into one of Tasmania’s finest examples of cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Brian’s hands-on approach, from viticulture to fermentation, ensures that every bottle expresses the unique character of the land.

      Apsley Gorge is a testament to Brian’s commitment to producing exceptional wines with great purity and structure. The vineyard’s location, near the entrance to the Apsley Gorge National Park, enjoys cooling afternoon breezes, which moderate the climate and promote long, slow ripening. With a focus on natural winemaking techniques and minimal intervention, Brian produces wines that are as individual as the site they come from, with each vintage representing a new opportunity to showcase the potential of the land.
