It was a late, cold start to spring 2021 in Coal River Valley, followed by an unbelievably mild summer (barely a couple of days over 32 degrees Celsius). This batch wasn't picked until the 22nd of April, a month later than the last Pinot pick in the Yarra Valley. The fruit is picked in the morning, put onto a shipping container, out on the 7 p.m. boat and at the winery in Healesville 36 hours after it is picked. They used 20% whole bunch for fermentation, and the wine matured for nine months. Planted in the vineyard are MV6 predominantly and D clones. The 2022 Fatal Shore Pinot Noir leads with rosemary, lavender, concentrated raspberry in the mouth (wow!) and layers of ductile tannin to support the fruit. The tannins are pronounced here, and it's great; there's plenty to chew on. The fruit is sapid and pure, decidedly floral and quite savory. There are also notes of graphite, iodine, blood, dried rose petal, tobacco, five spice/cumin/clove/ras el hanout. Super. This is an excellent wine, Tassie showing its prowess here. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.Inc. TAX€425.28 -

The 2023 Tarraford Vineyard Chardonnay is spicy and restrained on the nose; where the Applejack Chardonnay is exuberant, powerful and concentrated, this is blessed with more subtlety and perhaps even complexity. Aromas include tarragon and star anise, cinnamon and freshly grated nutmeg (in the way that nutmeg can be fresh, rich, slightly medicinal/green, resinous, spicy, warm, round/sweet, generous/enveloping). The fruit speaks of white peach, green almond, salted cashews and finely ground white pepper. The acidity is bright and saline within. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.Inc. TAX€721.87 -

At 420m Wombat Creek is the highest vineyard site in the Yarra Valley, with a gentle northeast-facing slope of volcanic red soil. The vinification sees the wine bottled by gravity, not fined and only coarse-filtered, as is the case with its siblings.

There’s striking freshness of lemon and yellow grapefruit here with a chalky, stony, flinty edge. The fresh fruit carries subtly spicy oak nicely.
