La Villa Pinot Noir 2024 750ml

"Generous Tasmanian Pinot Noir with juicy cherries, ripe plum, sweet spice and a savoury finish."

La Villa Pinot Noir 2024 is a cracking little find from Tasmania's northwest, offering plenty of juicy red fruit, lovely spice and a little more richness than you might expect from a cool climate Pinot Noir. There's ripe cherry, strawberry and plum, a touch of toasty oak and enough savoury character to keep things interesting. It's generous without being heavy, with refreshing acidity and nicely structured tannins holding everything together. If you enjoy Pinot Noir with a bit of depth and personality, this is definitely one worth getting to know.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Ripe red cherries, fresh strawberries and dark plum, with hints of sweet spice, vanilla and lightly toasted oak.

Palate: Generous flavours of juicy plum, cherry and strawberry, complemented by subtle vanilla, gentle spice and savoury undertones. Fresh acidity balances the richness of the fruit, while well structured tannins provide depth and a lovely rounded mouthfeel.

Finish: Lingering red berries, gentle spice and subtle savoury notes, with a refreshing acidity that keeps the finish beautifully balanced.

Serving Suggestions

A terrific match for roast duck, rack of lamb, grilled venison or a good steak. The generous fruit and savoury character also work beautifully with mushroom risotto, roast chicken or pork with herbs.

For something more relaxed, try it with wood fired mushroom pizza, charcuterie or a selection of soft cheeses.

About The Winery

La Villa is a family owned Tasmanian winery established in 2010 by Marcus and Gail Burns, located in Spreyton, near Devonport on Tasmania's northwest coast.

This part of Tasmania is becoming increasingly recognised for its cool climate wines, particularly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The region's maritime influence and relatively cool growing conditions help produce wines with vibrant fruit flavours, refreshing natural acidity and distinctive regional character.

La Villa has developed a reputation for producing expressive, generously flavoured wines that capture the freshness and personality of northern Tasmania.

The 2024 Pinot Noir is a great example of this style, combining ripe red fruit, subtle oak influence and savoury complexity in a wine that offers both immediate drinking pleasure and the structure to develop with a little time in the cellar.

Cellaring Potential

Delicious now for its generous cherry and plum flavours, fresh acidity and approachable character. With careful cellaring, this wine should continue to develop additional savoury complexity over the next 5 to 7 years.
