2018 Spring Vale Vineyards Family Selection Pinot Noir, Tasmania

Matured 10 months in 43% new French oak barriques. A selection of the 7 best barrels of estate pinot noir, released a year later at more than 2.5 times the price. A serious step up, too. Depth of red and black cherry fruit is accented with East Coast black pepper, confidently supported by toasty French oak. It will appreciate time to harmonise, boasting the fine-grained tannin profile, tangy acidity and lingering persistence to go the distance. TS 13.5% alc.
