“TMV is a snapshot of the Tamar Valley in any given year, from the perspective of TTT.
This wine is from Tasmania’s Tamar Valley (TMV). Beginning just south of Launceston the valley winds 50km north to its meeting point with the powerful Bass Strait.
Produced from different sites, our intent with this wine is to reflect what we believe are the standout characteristics of the Tamar Valley sub region.
We pick each vineyard at the right time, resulting in a juicy and vibrant pinot noir that expresses red fruits and spice. There is softness within its warm heart, it leaves you with a trail of freshness and closes with strawberry seed-like tannin. This is produced from all four of our own sites, plus two dedicated growers, it is a true representation of the valley.”
Ricky Evans
“The wine that started it all! This is Ricky’s 13th year making TMV Pinot Noir, and it gets better each year. As was the case last year, Ricky’s Woodlawn Park site accounts for most of the blend (70%), with small parcels from Chartley Estate in Rowella (15%) and Three Wishes in Hillwood (15%). The breezy Woodlawn site lies on free-draining silty and sandy soils near the river in Swan Bay and consistently delivers vibrantly pure, potent fruit. The combination with the other sites brings together bright aromatics, snappy red fruits, fresh acidity and spicy depth. Ricky picks over multiple passes. The ferment included 10% bunches, and the wine spent 10 months in barriques (10% new) before bottling.”
