Tasting Notes
In late 2022, the Kirby family purchased a 12 hectare property in Campania, Tasmania - deep in the heart of the Coal River Valley. The Kirby family along with general manager and winemaker Tom Carson had long-held a desire to expand the winery’s pinot noir footprint. Tom’s search for the right vineyard soon led him to Tasmania, an incredibly exciting region for pinot noir. Considering this, its unsurprising that on 20% of the vines here are Chardonnay. But, where it is small in number, it is mighty.
