85% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo, 5% Colorino.

Mid cherry. Fresh dark fruit. Deliciously succulent with spicy, seet dark cherry and wild headgerow fruit but just a little savoury too. Beautifully balanced and harmonious. Both smooth and tangy and finishes so fresh.

A bright, light ruby colour. The nose shows pretty and juicy red forest cherry fruits, interwoven with savoury meat notes and crushed meadow herb over a cool earthen base. The palate is bright and savoury but ripely red-fruited, again with the cadences of fresh herb, roast pan juices and iron-rich earth. Spice notes and a lively tannin profile draw the appropriately ripe palate out to length.

The grapes used to produce the Powerhouse Pinot Noir were hand-picked from the vineyards nestled on the river banks of Hobart, Tasmania. The Pinot Noir is light and fruit forward. Earthy, with aromas of forest floor gamey. Rich fruits of dark cherry and black plum combines with powdery tannins for a smooth finish. Produced using wild yeast and fermented in french oak for 10 months this Pinot Noir was bottled unfiltered.

The complexity of the wine is built up during maturation through some lees stirring and partial malo which contributes to a creamy mid-palate texture. A good line of acid assists in holding the fruit on the palate and giving the wine length. Richness will develop over time.
