Haddow + Dineen Private Universe Pinot Noir 2022 from Tasmania’s Tamar Valley is an intensely Tasmanian, small‑batch Pinot drawn from low‑yielding vines on white quartz gravel at Yorktown, made with a philosophy of “maximum consideration” rather than minimalist winemaking. Around 50% whole bunch, wild ferment, and bottling unfined and unfiltered give this Private Universe Pinot Noir serious aromatic lift, spice and textured complexity.

In the glass it shows dark cherry, wild red berries, raspberry and pomegranate, with orange rind, bramble, dried herbs and kitchen spices like cardamom, clove and Szechuan pepper, plus subtle smoke, forest floor and a faint tobacco note. The palate is delicately powerful: silky yet structured, with fine dusty tannins, refreshing acidity and a long, grainy, mineral‑tinged finish that feels both elegant and quietly muscular.

Food‑wise, Haddow + Dineen Private Universe Pinot Noir 2022 is ideal with roast duck, lamb rump, game birds, mushroom dishes, chargrilled vegetables and aged hard cheeses, where its spice, savoury nuance and fresh line cut neatly through richness and umami. Drink now for its aromatic complexity or cellar 5–10 years as those whole‑bunch and earthy notes knit further into the dark fruit core.
