The 2023 Clarence House Estate Block 1 Pinot Noir is a standout release from one of Tasmania’s most distinctive vineyards. Grown on the north-east facing slopes of Clarence Plains, this wine embodies the region’s unique terroir, with its combination of floral, red, and black fruit aromas, forest elements, and mixed spices. The wine is a blend of clones 114, 115, and 777, sourced from the vineyard’s oldest block. The inclusion of 30% whole bunches of clone 777 in the fermentation, along with wild fermentation, enhances the complexity and depth of this wine. Aged in a mix of new and seasoned French oak puncheons, the wine achieves a seamless palate with fine tannins and a bright, energetic finish. This is the fifth release of the Block 1 Pinot Noir and continues to impress with its ability to be both enjoyed in its youth and cellared for years to come.
