Tasting Notes

Brooding Pinot Noir. Violets, grapefruit peel, dried orange. Blood plums, enveloped in a bouquet of garrigue spices; sage, thyme and oregano come to mind. The tannins derived from the addition of whole bunches add a welcome structure to the wine. Drinking solidly as a young wine and will benefit from careful cellaring.

Winemaking

From fruit sourced from the prized Panorama vineyard in the Huon Valley. Alluvial/clay-based loams - Pinot Noir planting in the 1990’s - clone G5V15 (Wadenswil) - 25% layered whole bunch - wild ferment with daily pigeage - pressed to old oak barriques for 10 months elevage - no fining or filtration - minimal Sulphur - 1,800 bottles produced.

About the Vineyard

L’appel wines is the wine project of emerging Tasmanian vignerons Bart Johnston & Jess Nuel
Currently sourcing fruit from highly regarded plots in the Tamar Valley, Huon Valley, Coal Valley and East Coast -regional expression is at the core of the L’appel wines suite.
Having carried out winemaking stints with reputable producers in North America, it was the Pinot Noirs of the Willamette Valley (Oregon) that were the catalyst for a deep dive into Pinot Noir.
Fascination with site, the microclimate and its influence on style led Bart to an invaluable period with Quealy Wines on the Mornington Peninsula. One pandemic later, a few degrees South and Tasmania is where the vignerons now call home.
In the cellar, the winemaking is light-handed with the winemaker adjusting the methods of vinification to suit the nuances of any given vintage. The wines are wild fermented, unfiltered and elevage is carried out in a mix of 5+ year old barriques. In more recent vintages the Pinot Noirs have included a larger proportion of whole-bunch, bringing freshness and structure to the wines.
These are wines made with passion, purpose and an obedience of simplicity at its heart - welcome to L’appel.

Huon Valley

The Huon Valley is Tasmania’s southernmost wine region, and by extension, the southernmost wine region in all of Australia.

Following the winding path of the Huon River from Lake Pedder to the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, this region offers a unique cool-climate growing environment. The north-facing vineyards are sheltered from the cold southerly winds, benefiting instead from a maritime-influenced climate.

The gentle warmth of summer allows for a slow, extended ripening season, resulting in high-quality Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and sparkling wines.

This extended growing period enhances the complexity and finesse of the wines produced here, making the Huon Valley an ideal region for crafting elegant, cool-climate varieties.
