Winery & Vintage Info
Winemaking Notes
Situated on the east coast of Tasmania at Bicheno, Apsley Gorge takes its name from a mountain pass and shares with the other east coast wineries the capacity to produce premium quality Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Former abalone diver and lobster fisherman Brian Franklin planted Apsley Gorge with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the early 1990s, with the first vintage in 1993. The vineyard, approximately 7 hectares, is farmed as low yield and non-irrigated to ensure the stability of the fruit, whilst hand pruning and hand picking maintains the quality of the grapes from vineyard to winery. Brian took over the winemaking in the late 1990s and quickly became recognised as an exceptional winemaker. His winemaking skills in the traditional French style were honed originally with Philippe Charlopin, one of Burgundy's most notable winemakers. Brian has worked every vintage in Burgundy since 2000, lately working with Philippe's son Yann at Domaine Charlopin-Tissier.
Vintage Conditions
The 2024 vintage saw the Pinot fruit achieve excellent phenolic ripeness whilst concealing the berry characteristics beneath very firm tannins. The wine is initially closed, displaying some funky notes, before opening up to reveal complex Pinot character. This wine will fully reveal itself once decanted, rewarding patience with layers of depth and expression that speak to both the vintage conditions and Brian's masterful Burgundian-influenced winemaking approach.
