Apsley Gorge Vineyard Pinot Noir 2025

Apsley Gorge Vineyard Pinot Noir is a single vineyard Tasmanian red from the warm, dry east coast near Bicheno.

Apsley Gorge Vineyard lies near Bicheno on Tasmania's east coast, where the Apsley River cuts down through the hills to the sea. The east coast is the driest and one of the warmest parts of the island, sheltered from the prevailing westerly weather by the central highlands, and it gives Pinot Noir more ripeness and structure than the cooler south and north. Brian Franklin established the estate and makes the wine himself, working with low-yielding estate fruit, fermenting in small open vats with hand plunging and maturing the wine in French oak barrels before bottling. The Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is the estate's principal wine and is sealed under screwcap to keep it fresh as it ages.

Silky yet structured, it suits roast duck, mushroom dishes and grilled salmon; serve at around 15 to 16 degrees.
