CLARENCE HOUSE ESTATE | CAMBRIDGE | TASMANIA
Inspired by the great wines of the Old World, here you will find an interesting mix of wines thriving in the cool climate setting of Tasmania’s Meehan Ranges, presenting exceptional quality and superb value.
The Vinyard
The vineyard is managed conscientiously, with judicious use of inputs and sustainability in mind. Systemic herbicides, insecticides and fungicides are not used. The vineyard undervine area is slashed, the inter-row sward is left to thrive and flower, irrigation is used sparingly and the vine canopies are treated in such a way as to promote balanced, tempered growth in line with the current season’s conditions. In doing so, the Clarence House fruit boasts beautiful aromatics, fresh natural acidity and physiologically ripe tannins.
2024 Pinot Blanc
One of the first and only plantings of Pinot Blanc in Tasmania, on the back of advice from pioneering winemaker Andrew Hood. This underrated and overlooked variety possesses wonderful aromatics with a gently textural palate offset by refreshing cool climate acidity.
After a brief period on skins, the fruit was pressed, lightly settled and then racked for tank ferment. Floral and fruity with hints of spice, the palate is rich and nuanced yet bright and fresh. A delightful aperitif and an excellent accompaniment to white meat and spice dishes.
