Haddow + Dineen 'Private Universe' Pinot Noir 2023
Couldn't load pickup availability
- TASTING NOTE: Pinot noir from the quartz gravels of Jeremy Dineen's Yorktown vineyard in the west of the Upper Tamar Valley; 50% whole bunch, unfined and unfiltered. Bright ruby with aromas of macerated wild strawberry, red plum, red cherry and blood orange. Hints of dried citrus rind, amaro, exotic spice, pressed blossom, earth, pan juices and light undergrowth tones. It's all detail with a sapid, saline cadence, wonderful clarity and delineation of flavours, powdery tannin and an appealing energy and sense of 'pourmeanotherglassness'. A cracker. 96 Points - Dave Brookes, Halliday
- ABOUT THE WINE: Hand-picked, 50% whole bunch fermented, wild yeast, unfined and unfiltered. Low crops from silica quartz soil produce intense dark cherry and wild red fruit aromas, with spice and herb characters coming from the whole bunch fermentation. Intricate red fruit and spice flavours flourish in a rich palate with savoury finish and fine, grainy tannins

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: HADDOW + DINEEN is a collaborative-winemaking-side-hustle from cheesemaker, Nick Haddow, and winemaker, Jeremy Dineen. Appropriately, they met at a wine and cheese tasting in 2003, not long after Nick moved to Tasmania and started Bruny Island Cheese Co. and Jeremy had moved back home to Tas and started work at Joesf Chromy. You would be hard pressed to find someone with a deeper understanding of the complexities of Tasmanian viticulture than Jeremy Dineen. He led the winemaking team at Josef Chromy from establishment in 2005, made wine under contract and now consults for some of the better labels in Tasmania. Inspired by the intense quality of the fruit from the Yorktown Vineyard, it didn’t take much for Jeremy to talk Nick into making some wine together.
