2024 Stoney Rise Pinot Noir
Stoney Rise has built a reputation for making some of Tasmania’s most approachable Pinots, and the 2024 carries on that tradition. Joe Holyman keeps the style vibrant and expressive, showing off the Tamar Valley’s cool-climate fruit without getting too serious about it.
The fruit is drawn from the estate vineyard and a handful of local growers, with plenty of clones in the mix to add complexity. In the winery it’s all about keeping things fresh – gentle handling, minimal new oak, and a focus on drinkability over weight. The result is a Pinot that’s bright and fragrant, with juicy red fruits, subtle spice and fine tannins that make it glide across the palate.
It’s a wine that works just as well with food as it does on its own, and part of the charm is that it doesn’t try too hard – it’s simply a delicious, honest expression of Tasmanian Pinot that consistently over-delivers for the price.
