Lot 7 is Winstead's original block of Pinot Noir, planted high on a hill overlooking the panorama between Chauncy Vale and Bagdad Valley. A place of ample sunlight, its low fertile soils yield a uniquely intense wine of opaque fruit and the sleekest velvet tannins. Grapes are de stemmed into small half tonne open vats, cold soaked and wild fermented, laboriously hand plunged several times daily, basket pressed and treated to natural malolactic, followed by a year's maturation in a mix of new and seasoned oak. Seriously small batch, an extraordinary experience in Pinot Noir.
TASTING NOTES
Dark red colour, indigo at the rim. Dark fruits of the forest, spicy oak showing the influence of the new Suary French barriques. The palate is deep and rich, sweet dark cherry, raspberry, plum and spicy oak. Structured, in its solid weight of fruit and considerable length, Lot 7 resonates as it unravels layers of unblemished fruit, penetrating, imposing, statuesque and refined.

More About Winstead Winery
Neil Snare is a pioneer of Tasmanian viticulture, he established his first vineyard in 1989 and has maintained a small batch approach to his sensational wines ever since
The warm, open Bagdad Valley in Tasmania's southern midlands, thirty kilometres north of Hobart, became famous during early settlement for its bountiful apple orchards, stone fruits and pears. There is very little water in the valley and the area is frequently punished by summer droughts. Many orchards have failed over the years and the open grasslands were turned over to sheep grazing. Neil acquired four hectares of the old Winstead Farm in Bagdad Valley during the 1980s, hand chosen as an ideal place for vines, dry grown, fertile and essentially frost free. The initial success of a small test patch of fifty plantings Pinot Noir was joined the following year by four thousand, ultimately a hectare and a half of Riesling and Pinot Noir. Winstead»
