The Story
Long story short - we’ve made the decision to stop producing Pinot Noir as a single varietal under the Nick Spencer Wines label. Consequently we have some spare Pinot Noir!
In more detail
I have been crafting Pinot Noir from Tumbarumba for 16 years, and since 2018 under the Nick Spencer Wines label, we have been using it to blend with Shiraz to make up the Light Dry Red Blend (LDR). The LDR has become a cornerstone of our production and a wine we look forward to creating each year.
In 2022, I had the opportunity to harvest additional Pinot Noir beyond what we expected we would need for the LDR. After consulting with my distributors, we decided to release a varietal Pinot Noir under the Nick Spencer Wines label. The inaugural release received glowing reviews, with The Wine Front awarding it 94 points and praising it for its “delicate character of Pinot Noir, expressed effortlessly, and so very easy to drink.”
In 2023, we continued to harvest Pinot Noir, this time from what is considered a much superior vintage. Half of this exceptional fruit went into our 2023 Nick Spencer Wines LDR, a wine that will be released soon and one I am incredibly proud of. The remaining Pinot Noir was originally intended to be bottled as a standalone varietal wine under the NSW label However, I made the decision to focus the Nick Spencer Wines label exclusively on our two red blends, the MDR and LDR, to maintain the brand’s clarity and identity.
Now, I have 1000 litres (100 dozen) of exceptional Pinot Noir—half of which was blended into what I believe is one of our finest wines to date, the 2023 LDR. The remainder will be released under the Non Fiction Wines
