The Sonnen ‘Tamar Valley’ Pinot Noir 2024 is a masterclass in Tasmanian cool-climate Pinot. Crafted by Luke Andree, who brings his expertise from his work at Mewstone and Hughes & Hughes, this limited-release wine blends fully destemmed fruit for bright, lifted aromatics with a portion of whole-bunch-fermented parcels to add structure and savory complexity. On the nose, vibrant cherry, raspberry, and subtle redcurrant intertwine with hints of forest floor, dried herbs, and a touch of spice. The palate is elegant and layered, with finely textured tannins, fresh acidity, and a persistent, mineral-driven finish that reflects the Tamar Valley’s distinctive terroir. From hand-selected vineyards, this Pinot Noir exemplifies precision, finesse, and a true sense of place, offering both immediate appeal and the potential for short-term cellaring.
