Haddow & Dineen - Private Universe Pinot Noir 2022

A gorgeously fruity, savoury Pinot Noir from the Tamar Valley in Northern Tasmania.

Intensely aromas of dark cherry, wild red fruits, dried herbs and spices. The palate beautifully opens up with layers of flavour: Red and black berries, more dark cherry w a slight sourness, pomegranate, bramble, red forest fruits, and a hint of orange rind; dried wild herbs and kitchen spices of cloves, cardamon, fresh Sichuan peppercorns, with a touch of smoke; before revealing subtle savoury notes of earth, forest floor, a hint of dried tobacco, and subtle minerality that carries through to the finish. Delicate yet structured, with fine dusty tannins, refreshing acidity, and a long, fine, grainy finish.

Its complex, elegant, fand powerful yet subtle - an absolute joy to drink now, and will develop beautifully over the next 5-10 years!

ABOUT HADDOW & DINEEN

'Haddow + Dineen is a collaborative winemaking project from cheesemaker, Nick Haddow, and winemaker, Jeremy Dineen with the aim to make small batches of intensely Tasmanian wines.

Our pinot gris and pinot noir grapes are sourced from a single, tiny vineyard in Yorktown, near the mouth of the Tamar River in northern Tasmania where vines grow in white quartz gravel. We also manage a second vineyard, planted in the ‘80’s, located at Sorell where we source small parcels of riesling and pinot noir.

Our core belief is that great fruit, from special places, guided by the right hands is what makes great wine. We value ‘maximum consideration’ over ‘minimal intervention’ – for every wine we produce, there are a thousand choices to be made about whether to impose ourselves or simply employ vigilant inaction.'
