Description
Clarence House was built in 1830 on land which was originally the market garden for the city of Hobart.
Present owner David Kilpatrick first planted vines on the north-east slopes of the property in 1998.
Located in the foothills of the Meehan Ranges, halfway between Hobart and the Coal Valley, Clarence House Estate sits in a unique location atop Jurassic dolerite and basalt soils with low annual rainfall.
The 2022 Clarence House Estate Block 1 Pinot Noir was produced by Anna Pooley and Justin Bubb at Pooley Wines.
A combination of 114, 115 and 777 clones from the oldest vines on the estate.
One third whole bunches of 777 were included, 20 days on skins, aged in a combination of new and old French oak puncheons for 11 months.
This marks the fourth release of the Block 1 Pinot Noir.
Floral, red and black fruits, forest elements and mixed spices.
Seamless palate, textural yet buoyed by fresh, lively acidity and a long, tannin-infused finish.
A great candidate for the cellar, yet equally enjoyable as a young, primary wine full of fruit and energy.
The 2021 Clarence House Block 1 Pinot Noir from Tasmania’s Coal River Valley has won Australia’s Best Pinot Noir at the 2022 Australian Pinot Noir Challenge.
