2018 Bream Creek Pinot Noir

2018 Bream Creek Pinot Noir The Bream Creek is a bold, powerful example of an excellent Pinot Noir. It starts with an intense nose of dark fruits and spices flowing into a palate rich and vibrant with dark plums, black cherries and balanced fine tannins. The Bream Creek Pinot Noir  maintains an excellent balance and length throughout. This Pinot Noir can be enjoyed now or cellared for 7-10 years with confidence. An extraordinary vintage in Tasmania. Growing conditions were simply perfect and produced wines of outstanding intensity, depth and length.  

Awarded 38 wine show trophies and over 900 wine show medals (as at 24 September 2020).

• being awarded the trophy for the “Most Successful Tasmanian Exhibitor” at the 2008, 2014 and 2016 Royal Hobart International Wine Shows.

James Halliday, author of the 2021 James Halliday Australian Wine Companion, has written that:

“Until 1990 the Bream Creek fruit was sold to Moorilla Estate, but since then the winery has been independently owned and managed by Fred Peacock, legendary for the care he bestows on the vines under his direction. Freds skills have seen both an increase in production and outstanding wine quality across the range, headed by the Pinot Noir. The list of trophies and gold, silver and bronze medals won is extensive. Freds expertise as a consultant is in constant demand.”
