Dalrymple, based in Tasmania, is celebrated for crafting elegant, cool-climate wines that reflect the purity of the region’s terroir. The ‘Ouse’ Pinot Noir 2021 comes from a single vineyard located in Tasmania’s central highlands, where cool temperatures and long growing seasons allow the Pinot Noir to develop complexity, depth, and finesse. The 2021 vintage, known for its ideal conditions, produced a wine with exceptional balance, ripe fruit, and a precise structure.

Appearance: Pale ruby with bright clarity and subtle garnet tinges at the rim, characteristic of a youthful, cool-climate Pinot Noir.

Aroma: Expressive and delicate, with aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and cranberry. These red fruit notes are complemented by floral undertones of rose petals and violets. Earthy hints of damp forest floor and subtle spice like clove, cinnamon, and a touch of cedar add complexity, reflecting the wine’s cool-climate origins.

Taste: Light to medium-bodied, with bright red fruit flavours of cherry, wild strawberry, and raspberry, balanced by savoury undertones of dried herbs, forest floor, and a hint of mushroom. The tannins are silky and fine, providing a smooth texture, while the fresh acidity keeps the wine lively and vibrant. The oak is well-integrated, adding subtle spice and a touch of vanilla without overwhelming the fruit.

Finish: Long and elegant, with lingering notes of red fruit, delicate spice, and a clean, mineral-driven finish. The acidity and fine tannins promise further aging potential, while the wine remains approachable and refined in its youth.

Food Pairing: This refined Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with herb-roasted chicken or duck breast with cherry glaze, where the wine’s bright acidity and red fruit complement the richness of the dish. It would also work well with mushroom risotto or charcuterie, enhancing the savoury and earthy elements of the food while maintaining the wine’s freshness.
