Lost Farm takes its name from a piece of Tasmanian history, and this Pinot has a story worth telling. Striking purple hue, with a nose that bursts with cherries and red fruits. The palate is rich in red berries, spice, and subtle briary notes, with silky tannins and deft oak integration carrying it through to a long, seductive finish. A bright and expressive wine that captures the Tamar Valley at its best. Pair with duck breast, lamb, or mushroom risotto. Drink now through 2029.

Winemaking

The two vineyards for Lost Farm Pinot Noir are located in the northern Tamar Valley, both located just to the South of Launceston. The majority of this wine is made from the Glenbothy Vineyard. The north east facing slope of dark volcanic loam is close planted to multiple clones of Pinot Noir including MV6, 114, 115. The vines capture the warm morning sun and deliver fruit of purity with racy natural acidity, refinement and elegance. The second vineyard is right around the corner and likewise faces north east, the soil as dark Biscay clay and delivers brighter fruit characters to that of Glenbothy. Hand harvested at optimal flavour ripeness, we placed 15% whole bunches in the bottom of an open fermenter with the remainder of the grapes gently destemmed with as many whole berries as possible on top. Following a 5 day cold soak at 2-5 degrees, to gently extract the elegant flavours and tannin, fermentation occurred over 7 days with “punchdowns” occurring morning and night. The wine was gently pressed when dry. Maturation occurred in seasoned French oak barrels with 25% new fine grain low toast Mercurey and Francois Freres French oak to give the wine additional texture and complexity. After 10 months in our climate-controlled barrel storage each barrel was individually evaluated, and the final blend assembled in February 2022, with bottling without fining or filtration occurring in March.

About the Vineyard

Lost Farm Wines is a cool climate winemaking project of the Angove Family. After working vintage in Tasmania in 2008, fifth generation winemaker, Richard Angove returned to work in the family’s 136-year-old business with the idea firmly in the back of his mind to one day make wines from the cold climate of Tasmania as part of the family’s range.

In 2018 the opportunity arose to partner with a small group of exceptional grape growers in the Tamar Valley in the North of Tasmania and Lost Farm - Tasmania was born. The range comprises Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Sparkling wines.

Tamar Valley

The Tamar Valley is Tasmania’s oldest wine region, located in Northern Tasmania and stretching from Launceston to the Bass Strait.

This region is renowned for its cool maritime climate and iron-rich soils, which provide ideal growing conditions for producing premium wines.

Home to over 30 family-owned wineries, the Tamar Valley accounts for more than a third of Tasmania’s total wine production. The region has a long history of viticulture, with its first commercial vineyard established in the mid-1800s at Windermere, and its cuttings even contributing to the early vineyards in South Australia.

Today, the Tamar Valley is celebrated for its Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, and sparkling wines, all of which reflect the region’s exceptional terroir and winemaking heritage.
