2023 Holyman Pinot Noir, Tamar Valley

70% whole bunch, 30% new oak. Bright ruby with a beautiful aromatic profile of red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry pip with aromas of struck flint, spice, crushed amaro herbs, sous bois, hanging game and leaf litter and turned earth. Stony, savoury and wonderfully balanced with a chalky tannin architecture and bright mineral cadence.

Stoney Rise Wine Company is located in the heart of the Tamar Valley in Northern Tasmania, Australia. It is a family run  winery owned by Joe and Lou Holyman.

In 2004 we returned to Tasmania with our sights set on growing and producing the best Pinot Noir and Chardonnay we could. We purchased a vineyard that was planted in 1986 in the Tamar Valley, north of Launceston and set about doing just that. 2008 saw the construction of our winery on site.  We have expanded our vineyard in recent years with more Pinot Noir and a little bit of Gruner Veltliner and Trousseau.

We love all things vinous, we take our wines and what we do rather seriously albeit with relaxed personalities we try and have the most amount of fun possible.
