Tamar Bridge Tasting Posted by Andrew Barrow in Notes From The Tasting Hut, 4:56pm 09/10/2007. Four camera phone snaps of a very enjoyable tasting of Tamar Bridge Wines. The range of wines presented by the European Sales Manager (whose name I embarrassingly forget).
Tamar Ridge is an interesting estate down Tasmania way - Sauvingon Blanc and Pinot Noir the specialities although the Gewürztraminer was of good quality too. The best wine on show was their Devil's Corner Sauvignon Blanc which, sadly, is no longer available in the UK (has proved that successful!).
The Pinot's on show were good and demonstrated the vintage conditions perfectly producing wines with quite high acidity and a certain savoury leanness. Now I loved these in a food-friendly way (thinking some nice lamb) but Mr C thought a little lacking in ripe fruit. We might just wait for the next vintage to be released (which will be the 2005's) before a final decision is made on stocking them. ^ Back to top
