Barringwood Park 2010 Mill Block Pinot Noir
- Winery: Barringwood Park
- Style: Pinot Noir
Sheffield, NW Tasmania
Does this wine ever disappoint? Not in my recollection of the
vintages stretching back to the early 2000s. Even in difficult years
like 2004, Barringwood Park's Mill Block Pinot Noir retains its stamp of quality and earns yet more gold and fancy cups to add to the brag bag.
With no Mill Block made in 2009 (much of the limited vintage went into sparkling production), vintage 2010 is the first release since 2008.
Typically of Mill Block Pinots, this wine has a jewel-like clarity in the glass with vivid purple flashes. There's the distinctive briary, raspberry, fresh herb aroma which is quite explosive, so explosive and aromatic in fact that a mouth-watering response is instant. Those fresh berry fruits continue on the palate with more intense and enrichening dried currant.
It is an exquisitely pure pinot, but that doesn't mean 'simple', and at the moment it is a tightly coiled, shimmering, shivering pinot spring that deserves rest time in a cellar.
Barringwood Park is owned by Ian and Judy Robinson and is located in Tasmania's north-west, not far from Sheffield.

Pinot Shop is located in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia at 135 Paterson Street down at the river end near Cataract Gorge, Stillwater Restaurant and The Mill Providore. We specialise in the best of premium pinot noir as grown so beautifully in the cool climes of Tasmania, New Zealand and southern parts of the big Australian continent. Our love for pinot extends to its sibling styles pinot gris and grigio and fizzy cousins sparkling wine and Champagne, even when they don’t contain pinot noir.
That’s not to say we’ve become too exclusive - we also stock an interesting range of delicious wines for those (rare) times when you’re not drinking pinot…
