Dr Edge Pinot Noir 2023

(0)

$60.00

Dr Edge doesn't do things the conventional way and that's exactly the point. A bold blend of 70% Derwent Valley and 30% Tamar Valley fruit, this wine goes through whole cluster inclusion, hand stomp, foot stomp, and even bum stomp to extract maximum flavour. Wild yeast fermentation, nine months in old oak, bottled unfiltered and unfined. The result is a pure, unadulterated expression of Tasmanian terroir with vibrant fruit, refined structure, and genuine wild character. Pair with game, charcuterie, or anything off the grill. Drink now through 2030.

Dr Edge

Aroma

Ripe red berries, earthy notes, and a hint of wild spice.

Palette

Bold, with layers of red fruits, fine tannins, and a delicate oak influence from old casks. Long and textured, with a balance of fruit and savoury elements.

Wine Making

The winemaking process for the Dr Edge Pinot Noir 2023 is hands-on and experimental, employing techniques that bring out the raw character of the fruit.

Grapes from the Derwent Valley and Tamar Valley are macerated using a variety of methods—whole cluster inclusion, hand stomp, foot stomp, and even the quirky bum stomp—to ensure full extraction of flavour and tannin. Natural fermentation is carried out using the Pied de Cuve method, which relies on wild yeast to initiate fermentation.

After pressing, the wine is aged in old oak casks for 9 months, allowing it to develop complexity without overwhelming oak influence. The wine is bottled without filtration or fining, preserving its natural texture and flavour profile.

Meet the owners

Dr Edge is the deeply personal project of Peter Dredge, one of Tasmania's most respected and inventive winemakers. After a serious head injury derailed a football career in his teens, Peter found his way into wine, working at Petaluma before five years as senior winemaker at Bay of Fires. He launched Dr Edge in 2015, sourcing fruit from single sites across the Tamar Valley, East Coast and Derwent Valley to explore how site and clone shape flavour. Playful, thoughtful and built on genuine experimentation, Dr Edge was ranked 36th in James Halliday's Top 100 Wineries of Australia in 2024.

Derwent Valley

About the region

The Derwent Valley follows the river north from Hobart through some of Tasmania's most beautiful farming country. It's a region of contrasts, warm days, cold nights, and a long growing season that builds flavour slowly and deliberately. Home to some of Tasmania's most thoughtful producers, the Derwent Valley is known for Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling of real elegance and precision.
