Our Wines Our Story

Vintage Brut

The Vintage Brut is blended from small parcels of fruit from vineyards, tended by sustainability-minded growers, across the island. These wines express the complex identity of each declared vintage. A snapshot of Tasmania lutruwita, if you will.

Made to retain their freshness, these wines spend a minimum of six years on yeast lees with further aging under cork. Each release is limited to 2500 individually numbered bottles (plus magnums).

Rosés

There are many ways to make pink rosé wines and thus, numerous styles. The 2015 D2 Brut Rosé is pure Pinot Noir, that has been dosaged after ten years maturation.

Magnum 2015 D2 Brut Rosé

Magnum 2015 D2 Brut Rosé

Magnums (1500ml) are arguably the ideal format for aging sparkling wines, allowing the full expression of maturity whilst retaining elegance and freshness. Regrettably we only made 24 of these and a mere six remain. Hand riddled, hand disgorged and hand corked in March 2025.

An extraordinarily fresh and vital 10-year-old Rosé. The five years on yeast lees, followed by a further five years maturation under cork showcases this pure, single vineyard, expression of Southern Tasmanian Pinot Noir to perfection. In the larger format the 2015 D2 Brut Rosé is both a sophisticated aperitif-style of Rosé and intensely moreish and food friendly.

Elegantly long, dry and complex, Aromas of raspberries, cranberries), ripe peach, cherry, quince, dried rose petals and herbs. A fresh, fine palate of red berry fruits, quince paste with a zing of raspberry sherbet on the mid-palate overlay savoury/umami characters derived from the 5-year sojourn on yeast lees and held fresh and tight by oystershell and forest floor characters from the 5 years spent maturing under cork.

The firm acid line and thrust of tannin compliment a lightly textured mouthfeel to give a refined, balanced palate and lingering, dry satisfyingly, moreish finish.

Seriously frivolous. Only six left.

350 bottles produced (750 ml)
Five years on yeast-lees and another five under cork prior to receiving dosage, 2 g/L dosage, TA 6.5g/L, 11.4% alcohol v/v.
Tasting note: A pure, single vineyard, expression of Southern Tasmanian Pinot Noir, the 2015 D2 Brut Rosé is a sophisticated aperitif-style of Rosé. Fresh, taut and lean in contradiction of its 10 years of age, expect it to open out to the elegant generosity which typifies the year. It is long, dry and complex with aromas of raspberries, cranberries, ripe peach, cherry and alpine herbs. A fresh, fine palate of red berry fruits with a zing of raspberry sherbet on the mid-palate overlay umami characters derived from the 5-year sojourn on yeast lees followed by another five years under cork. The firm acid line and thrust of tannin compliment a delicately textured mouthfeel to give a focused, refined, balanced palate and lingering, dry satisfyingly, moreish finish. Once again, a seriously frivolous rosé. Only 350 bottles. Pre-order now
