{"title":"Apsley Gorge","description":"\u003cp\u003eApsley Gorge is the work of Brian Franklin, a former abalone diver and lobster fisherman who planted Pinot Noir and Chardonnay near Bicheno in the early 1990s. Brian took over winemaking in 1999 and has spent every vintage since travelling to Burgundy to work alongside Philippe Charlopin and, more recently, Charlopin's son Yann. That French technique meets an unusually cool microclimate at the entrance to Apsley Gorge, one of the last sites in Tasmania to harvest each year, resulting in Pinot Noir of real depth and restraint. The winery itself sits in an old fish processing factory overlooking Bicheno's Gulch, one of the more spectacular settings of any winery in the country.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"apsley-gorge-pinot-noir-2021","title":"Apsley Gorge Pinot Noir 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eApsley Gorge doesn't need to shout. Deep ruby, unfined, and crystal clear. This is a wine that knows exactly what it is. The nose is mysterious and brooding, with ripe Pinot fruit that gives way to a textured, persistent palate with bright acidity cutting through beautifully. Real depth and character from one of Tasmania's most quietly impressive producers. Perfect with roasted lamb or mushroom risotto.
