Deep garnet gleams in the glass, where this Moorilla Muse Pinot Noir 2019 unleashes a brooding, intense nose that hooks you instantly – kirsch cherries lead the charge alongside tobacco leaf, earthy tomato vine, charred oak whispers, deep caramel richness, toasted brown spices and singed orange rind zest. Fruit from the estate’s unique Moorilla site, with picks staggered over a full month from March to April, crafts this robust yet balanced powerhouse under winemaker Conor van der Reest’s expert hand.

The big, rounded palate surges with ripe cherries and light spice intrigue, fortified by fine, smooth quicksilver tannins and a smoky thread that builds to cool-mint freshness on the close. Muscular yet elegantly bound, it’s a true Tasmanian statement of site expression and complexity – drinking beautifully now with youthful thrill, or cellar it for even more evolution. This gem screams sophistication; snag it for your next special occasion.
