Colour
Bright cherry red.

Nose
Enticing aromatics, with exotic fruits of the forest leaping from the glass.
Raspberry, black cherry, olive tapenade and oolong tea are framed by a subtle char toast character.
Hints of sea spray and a distinct Campari note linger.

Palate
The gorgeous aromatics flow through to the palate, with fresh dark cherries and raspberries to the fore.

Underlying subtle red spice, sumac and paprika compliment rosemary and oregano herbaceous flavours. Quartz like acidity provides vibrancy, framed by fine “al dente” tannins.

A terrific year for Tasmanian Pinot Noir with winter and spring rainfall slightly below the long term average, while temperatures tended towards the warmer end of the spectrum. Henty had a wet start to spring with several thunderstorms in November.
