Evenfall Pinot Noir 2022

(0)

$48.00

A striking first release from Evenfall, and one that announces itself with confidence. Mid ruby in the glass, the nose is a beautiful tangle of wild strawberry, cherry, cinnamon, five spice, and char siu — unexpected and captivating. The palate is refined and balanced, with pillowy tannins and a gamey edge that lingers into morello cherry and charcuterie on the finish. This is a wine for the curious. Pair with duck breast or pork belly. Drink now through 2028.

95 Points Halliday Wine Companion.

Aroma

Wild strawberry, cherry, raspberry with cinnamon, five-spice, char siu, citrus blossom, and rose petals.

Palette

Pillowy tannins with a light gamey edge, complemented by morello cherry and charcuterie flavours. Long and refined, with earthy undertones and savoury complexity.

Pairings

This wine calls for richness to match its structure, think cream-based sauces that soften around its firm tannins, aromatic grilled meats that bring out its spice and depth, and earthy autumnal dishes featuring chestnuts, mushrooms, and root vegetables that echo its forest-floor complexity.

Meet the owners

Evenfall sits on one of the Tamar Valley's oldest vineyard sites, first planted at Legana back in 1972 and known over the decades as Powercourt, then Elmslie, before Tasmanian-born berry entrepreneur Richard Winspear took it on and gave it its current name. Evenfall now shares its restored cellar door and restaurant with neighbouring label Bellebonne, with winemaker Liam McElhinney crafting Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon from some of the oldest Cabernet vines in the state. It's a genuinely collaborative corner of the Tamar, home to several of the region's most exciting names under one roof.

Tamar Valley

About the region

The Tamar Valley is Tasmania's oldest wine region, stretching from Launceston to the Bass Strait in the state's north. Its cool maritime climate and iron-rich soils create ideal growing conditions, and the numbers speak for themselves, home to over 30 family-owned wineries, the Tamar Valley accounts for more than a third of Tasmania's total wine production. Viticulture here goes back a long way too, with the first commercial vineyard established in the mid-1800s at Windermere, its cuttings even helping establish some of South Australia's earliest vineyards. Today, the Tamar Valley is celebrated for its Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and sparkling wines, each one reflecting the region's exceptional terroir and winemaking heritage.
