The Rest is Vino

Tasmania may be Australia’s cool-climate underdog, but it has quickly become synonymous with elegant, expressive Pinot Noir. Regions like the Coal River Valley, Tamar Valley, and Derwent Valley have earned global attention, producing wines with finesse and balance that rival Burgundy. Eddystone Point is one of the producers showcasing Tasmania’s potential, crafting Pinot Noir that emphasizes purity of fruit and precise structure. The 2018 vintage highlights the region’s hallmark traits — elegance, vibrancy, and subtle complexity.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Pinot Noir shows a delicate ruby-red hue with lighter garnet edges, hinting at finesse rather than power. The nose is aromatic and inviting, offering red cherry, raspberry, and subtle earthy notes, with a touch of dried herbs and spice from careful oak handling. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied with silky, refined tannins and a bright, lively acidity that lifts the vibrant red fruit core. Flavours of strawberry, cherry, and hints of forest floor follow through to a long, elegant finish that makes it a joy to sip on its own or with food.

Wrap-Up
On the taste scale, this is medium-bodied, refined, and fruit-driven, with gentle tannins and a graceful finish. Price-wise, expect around £25–30 / $30–35, reflecting its premium Tasmanian pedigree. On Vivino, it generally sits at 4.0–4.1/5, reflecting strong appreciation among fans of cool-climate Pinot Noir. Pair it with roast duck, mushroom dishes, or lightly grilled salmon to let its delicate structure shine.
