OSSA Pinot Noir 2020

Trophy winner of the Australian Pinot Noir Challenge 2021 In his first vintage for Tasmanian Vintners, and a first release from a new wine business, Liam McElhinney blitzed the 2021 Australian Pinot Noir Challenge. The judges were just as surprised when they found out the identities of the pinot noirs they’d tasted at the challenge. The top wine, the 2020 Ossa Pinot Noir, is the first release from a new wine business, made by McElhinney during his first vintage as chief winemaker at Tasmanian Vintners. “From its flashes of bright scarlet and its beautiful perfume of prickly little red berries, flowers and spice, to its pretty, finely structured, silky dance across the palate, it's easy to see how this wine charmed the judges - not with power but with gentle persuasion.” - Max Allen, Australian Financial Review November 2021
