Best Red Wine in Show - Royal Hobart Wine Show 2019

If you're a pinot noir producer, Royal Hobart is the Wine Show to win.  It's like a Riesling winning the Clare Valley Wine Show, a Shiraz winning the Barossa Wine Show - pinot noir is home in Tasmania and this is a big deal.

I'll also point out winning this hual of trophies at Royal Hobart is no fluke, Handpicked Wines is quickly edging towards the top echelon of Pinot Noir producers in Australia.  In fact last year their Mornington Pinot Noir took out the mantle of "Australia's Best Pinot Noir" at the Australian Pinot Noir Challenge.  The winery is in a purple patch, the wine maker is on a roll. They are the talk of the town when it comes to PInot Noir.  

This wine shows why everyone is mad for Tasmania Pinot Noir. Deeply coloured and with a heady perfume of flowers and dark cherries, it has concentrated berry fruit flavours with satisfying charry oak, velvety tannin and a long finish.

I'm sure you already know, it's becoming increasingly rare for Tasmanian Pinot Noir to be priced under $50 and especialy one that was voted #1 from over 1,300 wines at Royal Hobart Wine Show.  With a pitch perfect palate, trophies in the bag and sub-$50 price tag to boot, you've got yourself a powerful combination that should excite the fussiest of pinot noir drinkers. Jump on board before it sells out.
