Stoney Rise Tasmania Pinot Noir 2018
Stoney Rise Tasmania Pinot Noir 2018
Dozen Price: $359.88
RRP: $34.00
The 2018 Pinot Noir goes back to the styles of the 2015 and 2016 vintages of Stoney Rise. There is more obvious upfront fruit on the nose, with hints of pomegranate and bright red cherries. The palate is soft and luscious upfront, but then the dollop of old vine fruit takes over and you are left with a hint of tannin, some complementing acidity and a long finish. Whilst it is upfront and easy drinking, the 2018 with its poise and structure will reward with some time in the cellar.
Reviews
"This is a very strong release for Stoney Rise. Joe is back on top in 2018.
Fresh cherry, strawberry, spice and aniseed, a bit of the old stone and graphite thing happening too. It’s cool and clear in fruit, fine dry tannin, a quiet succulence, yet keeps itself nice and trim with cranberry acidity crunch. It’s pretty long too, and in fact, the finish is particularly impressive, crisp and insistently tannic. Finesse combined with high drinking appeal."

Winery & Vintage Info
Stoney Rise is owned and operated by Joe and Lou Holyman who are building a reputation for making some of the Apple Isle's finest Pinot Noirs.
Established in the year 2000 with an eye to produce wines that are food friendly and complex without too much oak or overripe fruit characters.
The 2018 Stoney Rise Pinot Noir is a 60/40 blend of fruit estate grown, and fruit we purchase from small producers around the Tamar Valley. The 60% from Stoney Rise estate vineyard comprises of just over half of the fruit from vines planted in 2004 and for the first time in 2018 there is a small percentage of fruit from the new 2014 plantings. The remainder comes from older vines planted back in 1986, which is the component of the blend that gives this wine it's structure and backbone. Winery Notes
