Beginning just south of Launceston, the Tamar Valley winds 50km north to its meeting point with Bass Strait. TMV is an amalgamation of three different sites, and it aims to reflect the various aspects and mesoclimates that influence Riesling in the Tamar Valley.
Three Wishes Vineyard in Hillwood, which Ricky has worked with for many years, is warm and situated just a few hundred metres from the river, a half-hour’s drive north of Launceston.
Two other sites in Relbia―Chartley Estate and Glen Shian― contribute zesty acid profiles to complement Three Wishes’ lush fruit and lifted aromatics. From five- to 25-year-old vines on various soil types (silty loam, rocky ironstone and black clay), the free-run TMV juice fermented in tank at cool temperatures.
The pressings fermented in seasoned barrels and were carefully dosed back post-fermentation. The wine spent three months on lees in tank before being bottled.
About Two Tonne Tasmania
Two Tonne Tasmania began in early 2013 when a young local winemaker, Ricky Evans, managed to nudge into the tightly held tamar valley, yep, with two tonnes of pinot noir.
Fast forward, Two Tonne Tasmania now farms from four diverse sites throughout the Tamar Valley and works with growers on the Freycinet coast and southern Tasmania, producing a range of wines that represent the unique sub regions of Tasmania.
On the one hand, our role as a merchant of all things wine & spirits could not be simpler. We aim to source the most delicious, the most authentic, and the highest quality products possible from Australia and around the world in order to offer them to our clients. We live or die by how well we perform this task. Of course things are rarely as simple or as easy as they seem. Hunting for wines & spirits is no different. Apart from the months spent travelling, countless days and evenings spent tasting and the outrageous wine expenditure in the name of ‘research’, sourcing quality wine and spirits requires expertise and experience. Understanding the potential of a producer and their products is much more than just a slurp and a spit.
