On Tuesday evening in the cellar at Jervois Road, we tasted 8 different Pinot Noirs from around the world including New Zealand, Australia and France.
The first of our two Australian wines for the evening were 2015 Bay of Fires from two small southern sub regions of Tasmania, Derwin river Valley and Coal River Valley. Tasmania's cool climate produces Pinot Noir with a fresh herbaceous note that compliments the ripe berry and subtle spice characters. The second Australian wine for the evening was the 2011 William Downie Pinot Noir from the Yarra Valley in Victoria. A light and elegant expression that has aged seamlessly with fine acids and integrated tannins.
We had four wines from New Zealand, Starting with 2015 Millton Clos de ste Anne from Gisborne. Millton are one of the pioneering estates of organic, biodynamic and natural wines in New Zealand. Coming from a steep hillside site overlooking Poverty Bay, this wine is fine and elegant, with herbaceous and wild flower notes to compliment the fine minerality. The next wine was 2017 Escarpment Noir, a modern approach from a traditional Martinborough producer. This wine has been produced in Clay Amphora on skins for 270 days. Bottled without fining or filtration and no additional sulfur dioxide, this wine is a very pure expression of the savoury style of Martinborough Pinot Noir.
