2021 Sinapius Close Planted Pinot Noir

Handpicked from two north-east facing high density blocks, La Clairiére and The Enclave, planted to 7,700 vines per hectare. Volcanic soils, 12 different Pinot Noir clones, and super low yields (<0.5kg per vine – 30hl/ha). Like previous vintages, the decision was made to blend both blocks as the wine was more complete than the sum of its parts.

The grapes were gently destemmed, naturally fermented with 100% whole berries for 3 weeks before pressing and maturing on full lees for 12 months in French oak barriques (20% new). Unfined and unfiltered, this wine was bottled in August 2022.

An attractive array of red berries- raspberry, strawberry, the slight savouriness of rhubarb just blushing into ripeness and the clean fresh straw spread between them. On the palate it reveals itself in layers, forest fruits yielding to the broodier notes of the forest floor. It’s etched with fine grit tannins. It’s a taut and tense wine. Sinewy and svelte. It hums with latent potential. 3487 bottles made.

Located in the heart of the Pipers Brook wine region in Northern Tasmania, just above the banks of Pipers Brook on the popular Tamar Valley wine route. Sinapius is family-owned and operated by Linda Morice. Originally the two-hectare vineyard was purchased by Linda and her late husband, Vaughn Dell, in 2005.

When Linda and Vaughn started Sinapius, there was one goal in mind. To produce the finest quality wine, with as little intervention as possible. That most of the work would take place in the vineyard – from planting, to nurturing, to maintaining, and finally harvesting. Today, Sinapius continues to be recognised among Tasmania’s finest wines.

Enjoy this wine decanted with pan-seared Duck breast with cherry-port reduction.
