Producer Background: Ghost Rock Wines, a renowned family-owned estate on Tasmania’s North West Coast, is celebrated for its innovative approach and dedication to producing high-quality cool-climate wines. The Iris Vineyard, planted in 2015, is one of the most challenging yet rewarding sites on the estate. Its exposure to constant winds forces the vines to produce thicker-skinned berries, resulting in wines of remarkable power, structure, and aging potential. The 2023 vintage of the Iris SV Pinot Noir stood out during the winery's blind classifications, earning it Single Vineyard status for the first time—a testament to its exceptional quality.

Flavour Profile:

  • Appearance: Deep garnet with an intense, vibrant hue.
  • Nose: A rich and complex bouquet featuring blood plum, dried cranberry, and dehydrated raspberry, interwoven with subtle notes of tea leaves and leather. Aromas of bay leaf, clove, and other rich spices add layers of depth and intrigue.
  • Palate: Distinguished by its structure, the palate offers a plush mouthfeel balanced by finely-tuned tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavours of ripe plum and red berries are complemented by earthy undertones and a hint of spice, leading to a long, satisfying finish.
  • Conclusion: The Ghost Rock Iris SV Pinot Noir 2023 is a wine of incredible power and concentration, yet it maintains a harmonious balance of structure and elegance. Its thick-skinned berries contribute to its deep colour and robust character, making it a Pinot Noir with excellent aging potential and immediate appeal.

Inspiring Food Pairing Ideas: Pair the Iris SV Pinot Noir 2023 with rich, flavourful dishes that match its intensity and structure. It’s an excellent companion to slow-cooked lamb shanks, beef bourguignon, or venison with a berry reduction. The wine’s spice and earthy notes also pair beautifully with dishes featuring mushrooms, such as a wild mushroom risotto or a truffle-infused pasta. For cheese pairings, try it with aged cheddar or gouda, and for a sweet finish, consider a dark chocolate tart or a blackberry crumble to echo the wine’s berry flavours.
