2024 Primavera Pinot Noir - 31st Vintage

We often hear that consistency is what our customers love about this premium Tasmanian Pinot Noir.  If Primavera Pinot Noir wine had a motto it would be ‘numquam confundit’, never disappoint! Made annually since 1993, a showcase of vibrant berry fruits balanced with velvet tannins and supportive oak.  Strawberries, cherries and raspberries dominate the nose. They are the sort of berries that are grown in Tasmania and sold on the side of roads in little tubs.  Ripe plump fruit that is lovingly picked daily by its growers. Berries with an intoxicating aroma, full & mouth watering flavour and racy juicy acid.  

Knowing one day we would ultimately move to Tasmania from South Australia in pursuit of our winemaking dream, to find the perfect vineyard site. It was our experience that we noticed how everything tasted more delicious in Tasmania, an experience that many Island holiday-goers and locals would resonate with. The fresh cows milk, bread, meat, vegetables, fruits and nuts all taste next level.  This we believe is mainly due to the number of small dedicated master growers and the very long growing season that Tasmania offers more than any other Australian State. Autumn and winter can arrive early, and quickly in Tasmania.  Seasoned growers know their limits as to how much they can ripen successfully without being caught out with unripe produce by being in-tune with their crops accordingly.

Primavera Pinot is and always was about capturing fruit whilst not forsaking structure and length.  Pinot noir not only requires a true cool climate, but discipline and careful attention in the vineyard as well.  We are very conscious of crop levels and how they impact wine quality if they do not reach their intended sugar and phenolic ripeness.  We make sure we manage the yield to avoid diluted flavour and thin body while preferencing and illuminating the luscious fruit component.

Primavera Pinot is your go to wine to have on hand for any occasion.  A shared bottle or gift that is sure to please.  Enjoy with all cuisines and on any occasion.  A wine that might tempt the ‘white wine only drinkers’ and is almost certain to be appreciated by a ‘burgundy hound’ for its purity and clarity.
