The 42° South range of wines is intended to be fruit-driven and 'food-friendly' in style without being too intellectual or challenging. Our fruit selection, from different vineyard sites around Tasmania, and straight-forward, down-to-earth winemaking techniques are aimed at producing wines with clear and characteristic varietal fruit flavours.

Colour: As a youngster, this wine has a vibrant magenta-red colour, but this may be expected to tend more towards a brick or cherry red as the wine ages.

Bouquet: The nose is dominated by intense, fresh Pinot varietal flavours – dark berry fruits and spicy, herbal, floral notes.

Palate: The palate structure is soft and silky due to the excellent balance between the acidity, tannins and alcohol.

Ageing potential: Five years

Alcohol: 12.6% v/v.

Packaging: 750 mL French green burgundy bottles, cork finish, 12 bottles per carton.

Awards: Bronze Medal, 2007 Long Beach Grand Cru Wine Competition; Bronze Medal, Los Angeles International Wine and Spirits Competition; Silver Medal, 2008 Riverside International Wine Competition (California).
