The 2023 Yabby Lake Tasmania Coal River Pinot Noir is the debut release from the new Yabby Lake site in Tasmania's Coal River Valley. This cool, dry vintage brought smaller crops and a perfect balance for the vines, resulting in a wine with a deep, dark berry fruit profile. The grapes, handpicked in early April, were transferred under careful conditions to the Yabby Lake winery for vinification. The wine underwent natural fermentation, with a small percentage of whole bunches included to enhance complexity. Aged in 500L French oak barrels, the wine showcases an intricate balance of dark berry fruits, florals, and subtle spice. The palate is plush and rounded, with fine tannins and a lengthy finish. A promising debut that can age beautifully for 5 to 10 years.
