Handpicked Collection Pinot Noir 2015
Every vintage of this pinot has sold like crazy. The ‘13 and ‘14 were adored and applauded by mofos everywhere, and this ‘15 is following in its older siblings’ footsteps and blowing minds and palates.
Profile
It’s bringing 95 points from James Halliday and is fairly limited, so if you’re into savoury vinos I’d get moving. This 5 red star producer has taken fruit from the Tamar Valley and Pipers River regions in Tasmania, creating a earthy pinot defined by power and poise.
It’s cool, we get it, you want to know absolutely everything about this wine. Well here you go, go nuts.

Region
Tasmania
Some of the country's highest quality and best value wines unarguably come from this wee island, and the average bottle price is higher than any other region. It is probably the most sustainable part of the Aussie wine industry, given its relatively untapped potential and consistency of quality.There's no denying that the Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, sparkling and aromatic whites are up there with the best.
