Born from a warm, beautifully balanced growing season in Southern Tasmania, the 2018 Chatto Isle Pinot Noir showcases immense concentration and layered savory nuance.

The nose opens with rich dark plum, dried game, earth, and a whisper of whole-bunch complexity.

On the palate, the wine delivers a dense yet impeccably nimble frame, featuring velvety tannins and a powerful backbone that anchors the exuberant fruit profile.

Achieving top-tier critical acclaim, it exemplifies the profound capability of the Glaziers Bay site to produce age-worthy, structured masterpieces.

"It has the greatest texture..its overall impact is distinctly Burgundian, which sets it apart." James Halliday.
