PIRIE SOUTH is about producing fresh, aromatic wines to complement modern food styles, using the finesse of Northern Tasmanian fruit. The combination of a truly cool climate and summer rainfall, features which Tasmania shares with Northern France and New Zealand, make Tasmania particularly well suited to the production of these early-drinking wine styles.

A warm finish to summer saw an early start to vintage but cooler conditions then prevailed allowing harvest to settle into a more normal rhythm.  Mild, dry and sunny conditions resulted in fruit with good ripeness and flavour harvested under almost ideal conditions.

Bright pale straw with green tinges. The aroma is perfumed and complex with elements of lime zest, fennel, cumin and a hint of talc. The palate is firm with subdued herbal/vermouth like characters that give way to a crisp dryness on the finish. This wine will remind you why Riesling is interesting!

Or as Decanter magazine said in September 2011:

"Toffee, barley sugar, apple, lemon sorbet and grapefruit on the nose.  Juicy fruit with good sugar and acidity balancing each other.  Attractive, evolved and tasty with a long length.  16.67 out of 20, highly recommended four stars."
