Winemaker Notes

A billowing cloud of rose petal, five spice and fresh red cherries rise from the glass on first approach. These subside and the darker and wild summer fruits such as boysenberry and blackberry become apparent, with cedarwood and vanillin sweetness building after 1-2 hours of opening. The palate is defined by the hallmark soft silky tannins and lifted acid profile, typical of the cottage block. Red fruits provide most of the flesh in the lingering palate. Spice derived from the fruit and whole bunch fermentation is layered with spice extracted from the French oak barriques during maturation.

    Pale ruby colored, the 2013 Cottage Block Pinot Noir offers a stunning perfume of rose petals, potpourri and kirsch with a core of raspberry leaves and cranberries plus a waft of cinnamon stick. Light to medium-bodied, the palate is lithe, elegant and silky soft, yet certainly doesn't skimp on the finish! Just beautiful!!

    Peter Caldwell selected this wine from two blocks at Dalrymple’s home vineyard in Pipers River, in the north of Tasmania. The cold waters of the Tasman Sea give it a crisp and refreshing brightness, its color completely transparent ruby. The fruit tannins are crunchy, even if the wine is a little stinky at first, needing a day of air to gain elegance. A zesty, cold-climate pinot, this ends on a note of tarragon. For duck rillettes.

Dalrymple Vineyards Winery Image

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, almost equidistant from Launceston, Scottsdale and George Town, the Sundstrups planted their vines on sloping hills that overlook Bass Strait – the wild sea separating Tasmania from the mainland. Pipers River, Tamar Valley, where the good stuff grows. Imagine – bald, windswept hills, ancient gums leaning at angles, roaring north west gales and sideways rain, fluttering wildflowers, wheeling eagles. This is wild country. A place of vivid greens, basalt browns, daffodil yellow and cornflower blues. A place where we co-exist with nature and the land. When it comes to Dalrymple Vineyards, there are four stories to be told. Our vineyards. Lean natural acidity matches with intense flavors from root to grape, soil to sunshine. Our growers. Our team of hardworking men and women, who grow and tend to our grapes with precision and care. Our vigneron. Peter Caldwell and his passion for Pinot Noir, which he carefully crushes, ferments and separates into various distinct barrels to produce wines of elegance and expression. Our wines. Complex characters, weight, texture, and flavor come together before bottling and mature in our cellar; developing, growing, and creating a personality.

Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

Directly south of the city of Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula wine region, the cool-climate island of Tasmania has earned an honorable reputation as the country’s finest producer of Sparkling Wine. Naturally the region also excels in top quality still wines from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling, all distinguished because of a high natural acidity. Most of the Tasmania vineyards cluster around the eastern side of the island from north to south.
