Description
Ricky Evans’ subregional Pinot Noir series wouldn’t be complete without a deep dive into southern Tasmania. Sourced from top sites in the Derwent and Coal River Valleys, STH Pinot is the boldest, darkest, and most structured of the trio—built around intensity but still carrying Ricky’s signature finesse.
The heart of this wine comes from Kinvarra Vineyard in the Derwent (70%), where mature vines rooted in black clay and rocky soils deliver serious depth and power. Brinktop in the Coal River (30%) adds fine detail and lifted aromatics. TIt's a Pinot that leans into darker fruit—black cherry, plum, and a hint of blueberry—wrapped in a savoury, spice-laden frame. A touch of whole bunch (15%) brings complexity, while time in barriques (10% new) polishes the edges without weighing it down.
Despite its brooding character, there’s a floral, almost ethereal lift to this vintage, balancing the wine’s richness with elegance. If you love Pinot with a bit more muscle but still want the purity and energy that define Tasmanian wine, this is your pick.
The smallest release of the range and always in high demand—if you’re keen, don’t wait.
