Ever wondered how much difference a few hundred kilometres makes to a Pinot Noir? 🍷 This line-up from Tassie w**emaking legend Ricky Evans at Two Tonne Tasmania does just that. Same grape, same minimalist intervention, three completely different parts of the island!
Here’s the breakdown for your ultimate side-by-side tasting:
TMV (Tamar Valley) 🍇 – The Core Benchmark. Vibrant, juicy, and packed with bright red fruits, spice, and soft strawberry-seed tannins. It’s a pure snapshot of the Tamar. Vibrant, balanced, and ridiculously drinkable.
EST (East Coast) 🌊 – The Pretty & Refined. Sourced from a single Freycinet site. Think lighter, floral, highly aromatic, and elegant with a stunning soil-driven, graphite edge and crunchy acidity.
STH (South) 🌲 – The Rich & Plush. Sourced from the cool Derwent, Coal River, and Huon Valleys. This one brings deeper dark cherry, spice, and a plush, velvety weight with a gorgeous savoury backbone.
Grab all three from Ashgrove or Taringa this weekend, line up three glasses, and figure out whether you’re North, East, or South!
