Sailor Seeks Horse Pinot Noir 2023
Sailor Seeks Horse Pinot Noir 2023
Tucked away in Tasmania’s Huon Valley, this small vineyard ranks among the southernmost in Australia. Owned and operated by Paul and Gilli Lipscombe, both highly experienced in viticulture and winemaking and it reflects their passion and expertise. Their impressive résumé includes a Jimmy Watson Trophy win for their work at Home Hill, where they’ve been crafting wines in recent years.
While searching for the perfect site to create Australia’s finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. That quest led them to this north-facing vineyard, ideally positioned to capture sunlight while being protected from the chilly south-westerly winds.
Winemaker Notes
Picked at the end of April and into May with 5% whole bunch and our more traditional Tasmanian clones of 8048 and 2051. 10% new oak, mix of barriques, hogsheads and puncheons. 12 months in oak and 3 months in tank pre-bottling. This is a classically savoury Pinot, lots of layers with a touch more tannin and weight than in cooler years.
