Granton, Tasmania
Derwent Estate shares the Granton sub-sub-region with Stefano Lubiana and Laurel Bank. Rich, plush flavours are the order of the locale. The Mt Nassau property has been in the Hanigan family since 1913; wine production is a recent addition to traditional farming activities.
Julian Alcorso of Winemaking Tasmania makes the wine. Look for rich cherry/berry flavours with subtle oak and firm but textured finish owing to partial wild ferment.
In recognition of the quality of the pinots exhibited Derwent Estate also received the Tasmanian Wine Show award for 2011 Tasmanian Pinot Noir Producer of the year
