Continuing in the tradition of hard work and innovation established by William Lyne in 1826, Rodney and Lyn Lyne have planted 14.5 hectares of wine grapes at Spring Vale, principally Pinot Noir. The vineyard began in 1986 when a small area of 0.8 hectares were planted to Pinot Noir. Further plantings were made in the following years: firstly, more Pinot Noir, then Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer, followed by Pinot Gris in 1996. In 2000, more Pinot Noir and a splash of Pinot Meunier were planted. A further 7.9 hectares of Pinot Noir were then planted in 2013.

The Farrside vineyard sits on a northeast-facing slope and is composed of limestone topped with black volcanic soil, giving the wine a darker and more mineral expression than the estate’s Sangreal vineyard. Planted in 2001, the vineyard is laid out east to west to help protect the fruit from excessive sun exposure. The clonal selection includes 114, 115, 777, 667 and MV6, contributing layers of perfume, fruit depth and structural complexity. Although Farrside is only around 300 metres from Sangreal, its darker soils and cooler growing conditions mean the fruit is typically harvested 10 to 12 days later than the estate’s other Pinot Noir parcels. This slower ripening contributes to the wine’s firmer frame, savoury tone and more masculine character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 vintage at By Farr was shaped by a mild growing season, timely vineyard support and a warm finish that allowed the reds to develop concentration, character and poise. The fruit is hand-picked and sorted in the vineyard before fermentation in open-top fermenters. Between 40 and 50 per cent of the fruit is stemmed, followed by a four-day cold soak before natural yeast fermentation. Gentle pigeage is carried out two to three times daily, depending on the level of extraction required. The wine is then transferred by gravity into 50 to 60 per cent new Allier oak barrels, where it completes secondary fermentation before extended maturation. In the glass, Farrside Pinot Noir 2024 shows a balanced array of red and black fruits, layered with spice, mineral detail, savoury complexity and fine structural tension.

Bass Phillip’s Estate, Premium and Reserve Pinot Noirs originate from the same 3.5-hectare vineyard, with dedicated rows and sub-plots consistently selected for each individual cuvée. The vineyard has been farmed organically since 1993 and biodynamically since 2002, with low yields, no irrigation and a strong emphasis on achieving natural balance. Dense planting and severe crop restriction are central to the estate’s pursuit of perfume, texture, complexity and mineral definition. In the cellar, Bass Phillip favours natural yeast, minimal handling, gentle extraction and bottling without fining or filtration.

The 2025 season was defined by a long and even growing period that encouraged healthy bunch development and consistent ripening.

Ten percent comes from old, non-irrigated vines approximately 38 years of age, adding mature-vine character to the blend. The warm and relatively dry 2024 season brought an earlier harvest, while consistently warm nights allowed the grapes to ripen at comparatively low Baumé. This helped the Holymans retain freshness and keep the finished wine modest in alcohol. The result is a darker, more structured rendition of Stoney Rise Pinot Noir while retaining the energetic, approachable character of the label. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter harvest, the fruit underwent a five-day cold soak before spontaneous fermentation with natural yeast. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was basket-pressed into French oak, with most of the maturation taking place in vessels two years old or older, including puncheons and foudre. The restrained use of oak allows the wine's dark cherry, plum, spice and earthy characters to remain prominent. Fine, graphite-like tannins give the palate definition, while fresh acidity keeps the darker fruit profile lively and composed.

Named in honour of Robyn Pamela Farr, the matriarch of the Farr family, this exceptional wine celebrates her enduring contribution to the estate, from planting vines and working the vineyards to assisting with the demanding tasks of winemaking. Its fruit comes from densely planted Pinot Noir vines on exposed north, northeast and east-facing slopes, where red-brown loam, buckshot stones, limestone and volcanic soils create distinctive growing conditions. These varied aspects and soil compositions contribute to the wine's concentration, aromatic complexity and finely structured palate. The 2024 release captures this remarkable site through a harmonious combination of ripe fruit, delicate floral perfume, savoury complexity and beautifully polished texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pinot Noir grapes are carefully hand-harvested and sorted before undergoing natural fermentation, with traditional techniques used to develop flavour, structure and complexity. The estate's established approach includes controlled extraction through pigeage and maturation in French Allier oak barrels, allowing the fruit's natural intensity to integrate with subtle oak influence and refined tannins. Aromas of ripe cherry, sour cherry, dark berries, warm spices and delicate cocoa emerge alongside fragrant floral nuances, creating an exceptionally expressive bouquet. On the palate, concentrated red and dark fruits unfold across a seamless, satin-like texture, supported by fine powdery tannins and refreshing acidity.

Established in 1971, the estate has cultivated Pinot Noir from a diverse collection of vine material, including selections from its original plantings and more recent blocks. The 2024 growing season combined favourable flowering conditions with warm, dry weather during February and March, allowing the grapes to develop balanced ripeness and delicate aromatic complexity. Compared with the more concentrated 2023 vintage, the 2024 displays a lighter colour and body while retaining impressive flavour intensity and the estate's characteristic elegance.

This measured approach preserves the purity of the fruit while introducing subtle complexity and refining the wine's distinctive tannin profile.

Established by fifth-generation winemaker Stefano Lubiana, the estate is celebrated for its commitment to thoughtful vineyard management, traditional winemaking and the distinctive character of southern Tasmania. The Primavera draws upon Pinot Noir grown in the Derwent and Huon Valleys, combining fruit from vineyards with contrasting soils of grey gravelly loam over clay and red loam over gravel. These complementary terroirs contribute an appealing balance of aromatic intensity, fine structure and vibrant acidity, capturing the purity and elegance associated with Tasmania's cool maritime climate.

The 2025 vintage opens with lifted aromas of fragrant stock flowers, delicate musk, warm spice and vanilla, complemented by intriguing notes of chinotto, black cherry and fresh raspberry. On the palate, concentrated dark cherry and blackberry flavours unfold with generous, plush texture, supported by fine mineral tannins, fresh acidity and a delicate savoury undertone.
