Dawson James Pinot Noir

Dawson James Pinot Noir 2021 from Peter Dawson and Tim James’s Meadowbank Vineyard in Tasmania’s Derwent Valley is an elegant, complex cool-climate Pinot, combining vivid red fruit, earthy savour and silken texture. It is a benchmark Tasmanian release, awarded Best Tasmanian Pinot Noir at the 2024 International Wine Challenge.

Red cherry, wild strawberry and plum sit alongside rose petal, exotic spice, amaro herbs, forest floor, roasted meat and gentle cedar. Dawson James Pinot Noir 2021 is rich yet graceful, with a creamy mid-palate, pure fruit, lacy acidity and fine chalky tannins drawing the long, savoury finish into focus.

Match this Derwent Valley Pinot Noir with roast duck, pork fillet with cherries, mushroom pappardelle or grilled salmon. Its silky red-fruit generosity works beautifully with richer dishes, while fresh acidity and earthy spice make it a standout beside game, truffles and aged Alpine-style cheeses.
