"The most sublime Australian Pinot Noir I have ever tasted."
Tyson Stelzer

 

Lowestoft

 

Lowestoft is situated on a hilltop, providing a sweeping view of the Derwent River and MONA on the opposite side. The front garden area, which has been transformed into a 3-hectare vineyard planted with old-vine Pinot Noir, was established in 1986.

Previously, the vineyard's fruit was sold to other winemakers. However, since Lowestoft became a producer in its own right, it has received critical acclaim and been awarded numerous trophies and medals from wine shows across the country.

 

After the La Maison Pinot Noir 2021 clinched the James Halliday Trophy for Best Pinot Noir at the Royal Melbourne Wine Awards in 2022, the highly anticipated 2022 La Maison, which has just been released, surpassed expectations by securing the prestigious Jimmy Watson Wine Trophy for best one-year-old wine. This winery has achieved monumental success in a remarkably short span, clearly indicating their trajectory towards leaving a lasting and impressive legacy.

2021 Estate Chardonnay

Usually $69

Special Offer $64

 

"Tamar Valley/Coal River Valley/Tasman Peninsula-sourced chardonnay; matured in large format French oak for 10 months. An immediate wash of mealy lemon, grapefruit, white peach and nectarine fruit notes along with hints of fine spice, white flowers, flint, crushed river stone, nougat, oyster shell and sexy French oak. There is a swirl of struck-match complexity in the mix, and the wine presents an expansive palate with plenty of clarity, tension and complexity. A long, dreamy finish, too."

2021 Estate Pinot Noir

Usually $69

Special Offer $64

 

"A bright, complex pinot noir sourced from a number of vineyards, predominately the Lowestoft site overlooking the Derwent River. Pure red and dark cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry fruits with hints of Chinese barbecue shop, five-spice, teacake, mushroom, purple floral and subtle leaf litter tones. There is a nice sense of space and clarity in this wine, fine acidity providing the pulse and a sustained red-fruited finish studded with game, amaro and spice."

2021 Woodlands Single Vineyard Pinot Noir

Usually $107

Special Offer $99

 

"Pinot Noir sourced from the Woodlands vineyard in the Coal River Valley. Bright cherry fruit studded with spice, pomegranate, pressed flowers, cranberry, mountain herbs and subtle undergrowth at the core. There is a pleasing depth to the dark cherry and wild strawberry fruits with fine powdery tannins, a bright mineral-laden line and a composed, savoury swish of the tail on the exit."

2022 Jacoben Single Vineyard Pinot Noir

Usually $107

Special Offer$99

 

"...This is a darker wine that its pan-Tasmanian peer, but beautifully crafted: singing red fruits without any shadowing from oak, and with the intrinsic grace and charm of the Derwent Valley’s fruit well to the fore. On the palate, it is pure, bright and mouthfilling, packed with juicy raspberry; both tannins and acids are soft and sustaining. They nourish and ease the gorgeous fruit core through the palate to a gently subsiding finish. There’s just a touch of tarry complexity behind those fruits. Virtuoso work from a Pinot region of extraordinary promise."

2021 La Meilleure Chardonnay

Usually $107

Special Offer$99

 

"Pale straw in the glass with aromas of white peach, nectarine and grapefruit with a nicely dialled-in struck match/sulphide nuance and hints of soft spice, oatmeal, white flowers, nougat, lemon curd and clotted cream. There is impressive detail, clarity and composition here with a long, wonderfully expressive pure flow across the palate on rails of mineral and stone, not a hair out of place, a picture of tension and release. Beautiful drinking."

Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy Winner, 2023 Melbourne Royal Wine Awards

 

"Boom! You'll probably have to scurry around to secure some bottles of this, as it won the coveted Jimmy Watson Trophy at the 2023 Melbourne Royal Wine Awards, but it is worth the hunt. It's a beautiful wine with a brilliant ruby hue in the glass and aromas of ripe dark cherry, dried cranberry and raspberry coulis underlined by hints of souk-like spice, amaro herbs from the whole-bunch component, pomegranate, tea leaves, char siu, dried citrus rind, sage and Peking duck. Wonderfully composed and silken on the palate with pitch-perfect fruit expression and bunch tannins; textural and complex with a lacy, mineral acid cadence and a finish that lingers for a long time with exotic spice and pure red and dark fruits. Such a beauty."
