About this Wine
The fruit was sourced from the Cottage Block – an area well sheltered from the cool north westerly winds, and therefore a slightly warmer microclimate than other blocks within the vineyard. Intensive viticultural practices, including hand pruning, selective shoot and leaf removal and the removal of slow ripening and second set bunches, ensured excellent quality fruit. A 'reserve' wine by any definition.
About the Winery
A long-standing producer of quality wines in the Piper's River region. Dalrymple Vineyards was established by Bertel and Anne Sundstrup in 1987. They were visionaries, travelling to France for inspiration and guidance. Situated in the heart of the highly acclaimed Pipers River region of northeast Tasmania, the Sundstrups planted their vines on sloping hills that overlook Bass Strait.
In '10 Peter Caldwell was appointed, responsible for the vineyard, viticulture and winemaking. He brought with him 10 years' experience at Te Kairanga Wines (NZ) and two years with Josef Chromy Wines. His knowledge of pinot noir and chardonnay is comprehensive.
