Sourced from the pristine Bird Vineyard in northern Tasmania's cool Pipers River appellation, this highly allocated allocation showcases winemaker Jim Chatto’s mastery of elegant, structurally driven Single Vineyard Pinot Noir. The 2025 growing season yielded fruit of immense aromatic clarity, manifesting in the glass with a brilliant translucent ruby hue.

The palate is a masterclass in lightness and space, carrying delicate layers of raspberry, red cherry, and plum, grounded by underlying notes of dried shiitake mushroom, meadow herbs, and a whisper of nutty oak. A sapid mineral cadence lends vital energy to its filigree structure, creating a seamless balance that finishes with remarkable, appetizing length.

Writing for the Halliday Wine Companion, critic Dave Brookes celebrated it as a "shimmering, diaphanous little beauty; all filigree and space," noting its delicate fruit weight and exceptional drinkability. Capturing the purest essence of its maritime terroir.

"Needless to say: the 2025 Chatto releases are on fire....It’s light, fragrant, aromatic, pretty, sinewy and savoury at once. It’s a champion of a wine." writes Campbell Mattinson.
