Winstead is a place of Pinot passion, two magnificent blocks of vine separated by a few metres in distance and just four years of age. They each yield an extraordinary Pinot Noir, the younger Lot 16 however will vintage a little later in the season, an additional fortnight of ripening permits the berries to bloom with flavour and to sing in complete resonance. Completely destemmed into open vats, wild fermented and frequently plunged, followed by malolactic and a year in fine French oak. Powerful, generous, sound structure and self assuredness, an intensity that lingers.
TASTING NOTES
Deep red colour. Explosive perfume and glorious sweet fruit, nose of dark berries, bramble and spicy oak from a year in Saury French barriques. The palate is long and smooth, sweet dark cherry and evolving strawberry characters abound., structure, complexity, elegance and finesse, summer pudding fruit over a sheath of fine, tight tannins.

About Winstead Wines
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»
