Caledon Estate 2023 Pinot Noir

 

An impressive wine from a new business based in the Coal River Valley outside Hobart. Caledon is a family vineyard outside of the hamlet of Richmond and its grapes are vinified by Matt Wood at Spring Vale on Tasmania's east coast. This is a wine of lovely balance, weighing in at just 13.5% alcohol, that is ready for immediate enjoyment - perhaps with roast turkey. The Stewart family planted 11 hectares of vines in 2019 and they are clearly thriving. This is dangerously drinkable with currant and red cherry aromas leading to a medium-bodied palate with red fruits and apple crispness. Immediately approachable. Certainly a name to watch out for. $50. https://www.caledonestate.com.au/
