Heady, musky scents of rose petals, maraschino cherries and raspberries are deeply perfumed and floral. Medium in weight, it's soft, luscious and mouthfilling, with a densely packed but vibrant expression of red berries and cherries that becomes darker down the palate. Supported by a powdery spine that's likely to build in strength, it's long and persistent, culminating in a refreshing acidity and lingering finish of musk and dark cherries.

Winery
Pipers Brook
One of Tasmania's signature producers, Pipers Brook was right at the forefront in the 1980s - the early days of Tasmanian wine. Established by Andrew Pirie, its early white wines were as sought after as diamonds. Today Pipers Brook regularly produces some of Australia’s most Alsace-like wines from riesling, pinot gris and gewürztraminer. It's also very effective with the Burgundian grapes of chardonnay and pinot noir. Some of the older releases of The Lyre Pinot Noir and The Summit Chardonnay were quite remarkable. It shares its ownership and facilities with the Kreglinger brand of sparkling wine.
