2024 Dalrymple Pinot Noir

Dalrymple’s 2024 Pinot is a "best of" Tasmania blend, pulling together the bright, high-acid fruit of Pipers River in the north with the plusher, sun-ripened parcels of the Coal River Valley. It’s a clever strategy that gives you the best of the island: plenty of aromatic nerve backed by enough fleshy fruit to keep it satisfying.

The winemaking is hands-on but subtle. About 15% whole bunches are included in the ferment to add a bit of savory, herbal lift, followed by nine months in French oak to round out the tannins. It’s a composed red that focuses on freshness and regional character rather than heavy oak or over-extraction.

In the glass, it’s all wild blackberry and red cherry with a hit of cool-climate spice. The acidity is classic Tassie—crisp and crunchy—making it an easy win for the dinner table. If you're looking for a reliable, high-fidelity Pinot that shows exactly what the island is about, this is a great place to start.
