LOWESTOFT WOODLANDS PINOT NOIR 2021

Style: Savoury & Detailed

Lowestoft was built circa 1850 on land acquired by Thomas Lowes in 1830. He arrived in Hobart from England as a free settler on the ship Thalia in 1823 and planned to establish the first distillery. On arrival, Lowes found others were already in production however, he later erected a distillery and malt house, became a politician and also had connections in banking, horse racing and cricket. He was known to entertain and hold large events at the Lowestoft homestead. In 2017, Fogarty Wine Group founder and Executive Chairman Peter Fogarty followed his passion for world-class Pinot Noir to cool climate Tasmania. It was around this time that Fogarty first became aware of the historic Lowestoft property and vineyard, although he did not purchase the estate until 2019. Alongside Lowestoft, Fogarty also acquired two other vineyards ¿ Strelley Farm and Gilling Brook.

Pinot Noir sourced from the Woodlands vineyard in the Coal River Valley. Bright cherry fruit studded with spice, pomegranate, pressed flowers, cranberry, mountain herbs and subtle undergrowth at the core. There is a pleasing depth to the dark cherry and wild strawberry fruits with fine powdery tannins, a bright mineral-laden line and a composed, savoury swish of the tail on the exit. HALLIDAY
