Producer Background: Iron Pot Bay Vineyard, nestled in Tasmania’s Tamar Valley, is a family-owned winery celebrated for its commitment to producing cool-climate wines with character and history. The Pinot Meunier vines at Iron Pot Bay trace their lineage to the 19th-century vines of Best’s Great Western in Victoria’s Grampians region, making this wine a connection to Australia’s winemaking heritage. Planted in 1996, these vines now produce a beautifully light red wine that showcases the elegance of the Pinot Meunier variety.

Flavour Profile:

  • Appearance: Light ruby red with a soft, clear hue.
  • Nose: The nose is delicate and subtle, with gentle fruit aromas that hint at the wine's light and refreshing character.
  • Palate: On the palate, this wine is light-bodied, offering a graceful balance of fruit and acidity. Its subtle flavours make it a versatile and approachable red, perfect for enjoying lightly chilled in the warmer months. The wine’s elegance and delicate structure make it particularly well-suited to pairing with duck and other lighter fare.
  • Conclusion: Iron Pot Bay Pinot Meunier (Mani) 2017 is a beautifully light and refreshing red wine that embodies the grace and subtlety of this French variety. Perfect for summer enjoyment, it offers a unique and elegant alternative to more robust reds.

Inspiring Food Pairing Ideas: This Pinot Meunier is an excellent match for dishes like roasted or grilled duck, where its light body complements the rich, savoury flavours. It also pairs well with charcuterie, light pasta dishes, or grilled vegetables, particularly when served lightly chilled. For a more casual pairing, try it with a mushroom tart or a fresh salad featuring berries and goat cheese.

Cellaring Potential: While this wine is delightful when enjoyed young, particularly lightly chilled in the summer, it can be cellared for up to 5 years to develop additional complexity. However, its light, fresh character is best appreciated within a few years of the vintage.
