Mid-ruby with finely honed aromas of dark and red plum and cherries, wild strawberry and raspberry coulis with hints of fine, souk-like spice, crushed minerals, an expression of orange oil, citrus blossom, amaro, shiitake broth, charcuterie, judicious nutty oak, dried citrus rind and a wisp of undergrowth. Gorgeous fruit but man ... that savoury line is fantastic, all tension and stony purpose with melt-in-the-mouth crushed rock tannins and a super-long draw of flavour on the finish. A great release from a superb vintage.\" \u003cstrong\u003e97 Points - Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE WINE:\u003c\/strong\u003e La Maison is produced solely from the small, densely planted Lowestoft vineyard, which has some of the oldest vines in Tasmania.

This magnificent property is situated on the banks of the picturesque Derwent River and overlooks the renowned Mona Museum art gallery and Moorilla Winery. The property is located 15 minutes north west of Hobart in the Derwent Valley region. The low rainfall and cool temperatures allow long even ripening producing outstanding fruit. The Lowestoft vineyard is a small densely planted (8,300 vines per hectare) 3 hectare vineyard with some of the oldest Pinot Noir plantings in Tasmania. Originally planted in 1986, the grapes are some of the most sought after in the region. Lowestoft wines channel the clarity of Tasmania’s cool climate into wines of precision and quiet luxury. Every wine feels sculpted by the southern air, offering an elegant, linear expression of Tasmania. Pinot Noir is the hero, silk-lined, aromatic and shaped by the island’s crisp evenings; while Chardonnay shows tension, fine acidity and a crystalline finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Derwent Valley, Tasmania\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Liam McElhinney\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLASSIFICATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimal Intervention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screwcap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Heritage Perth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47551338021013,"sku":"6067","price":149.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/P1260207_c0fb55d1-2f8c-4a50-bcdc-aeb11c9bfcd6.jpg?v=1784786710","url":"https:\/\/theheritageperth.com.au\/products\/lowestoft-la-maison-pinot-noir-2024","provider":"The Heritage Perth","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
