Winemaking

The Milton Pinot Noir 2023 is likely crafted from handpicked grapes grown in Tasmania’s cool climate, which allows for a slow ripening period, contributing to the vibrant fruit flavours and natural acidity. After harvesting, the grapes would typically undergo cold maceration to extract colour and delicate flavours before fermentation.

The wine is then fermented using a combination of whole berries and whole clusters to enhance complexity. French oak barrels are commonly used for maturation, with a portion of new oak to impart subtle oak characteristics such as spice and structure, while maintaining the integrity of the fruit.

The winemaking process likely focused on gentle extraction techniques to ensure fine-grained tannins, and the wine may have spent time aging on lees to add depth and texture. The hint of forest floor suggests some bottle maturation, which enhances the earthy undertones often found in well-crafted Pinot Noir.

About the Vineyard

In 1992 we set to and planted 2.5 HA in the deep red soils of our Cranbrook Syde property just across the river from our current site. This site proved problematic for frost and vigour, so we started again on the dry, rocky free draining soils on the old sheep paddock just by the cellar door. The grapes were sold to Hardy’s for a few years while we learnt a lot about viticulture and then we launched our label in 2005.

From this, we have had great success with our unique micro-climate that suits the ancient grape Pinot Noir and lately, Syrah has proven very popular.

We have plantings of the aromatics, Pinot Gris, Riesling, and Gewurztraminer as well as Chardonnay.
