Ponting Mowbray Boy Tasmanian Pinot Noir 2021
Ricky and Ben travelled to Tasmania, including the Tamar Valley near where Ricky spent his youth, to personally select the grapes for this wine.
The Tamar Valley is located in the north of Tasmania, a cool climate wine region synonymous with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. A diverse region influenced by the Tamar River, with rich and fertile soil and gentle rains that arrive from the Southern Ocean. A renowned region for producing exceptional quality wine.
This Pinot Noir showcases typical Tasmanian Pinot Noir characteristics of savoury, spicy red cherries. An unctuous palate with bright, crunchy fruit, savouriness, and dripping with ripe strawberries. It’s a fine, elegant, structured wine that will have you salivating just thinking about it.
In the 2022 vintage, Tasmania enjoyed a refreshingly cool spring followed by a remarkably warm and consistently favorable growing season, culminating in exceptional ripening conditions and a moderate yield.
Pinot Noir pairs well with a variety of dishes, including roasted poultry, grilled salmon, and earthy, mushroom-infused dishes.
Crunchy red cherries, hint of juniper and white pepper. Juicy ripe strawberries on the palate sink through the finely spaced tannins. This Pinot Noir showcases typical Tasmanian Pinot Noir characteristics of savoury spicy red cherries
