Sailor Seeks Horse Pinot Noir 2023

Our Verdict

Paul & Gilli Lipscombe (Gilli is Brisbane born and bred) are on a mission to make the best Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the country. They join a fair line of folk committed to the same cause but they have got off to a cracking beginning by settling on a vineyard in Tasmania's Huon Valley. This youthful winery has quickly ascended to cult like status.

"There's a lovely waft of souk-like spice as soon as you approach this year's release. It suffuses gently through the perfectly formed red cherry, raspberry and red plum fruits. Hints of redcurrants, kombu, leaf litter, crushed stone, sea breeze, charcuterie and ozone. Airy and wonderfully detailed with gentle spicy red fruits, a cloud of powdery tannin and a super sapid sour-cherry acid line on the fade out. Delicious, filigreed drinking." 95 Points - Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
