The 2013 Pinot Noir is the perfect example of Drumsara Wines’ Terroir, expressing dark and wild fruits of the forest; cherry, plum and strawberry, with an underlying hint of spices. The palate abounds in deep fruits, supplemented by vanilla beans and cocoa. The fine-grained tannins and lively acidity give the wine great length and aging potential.
Hand-picked. The whole bunches enter the de-stemmer / crusher that is adjusted to allow for 90% of the berries to be crushed to release the juice and the remaining 10% to remain whole.

Winemaker: John and Audrey Matheson
In 2000, John and Audrey Matheson set themselves a challenge to grow grapes and to make some great wine -- and planted just over 20,000 vines.
During a holiday to Port Douglas, John and Audrey Matheson became great friends with the owners of a sugar plantation named Drumsara’. Here they enjoyed delicious food, fine wine and friendly hospitality during this holidays. The plantation was named Drumsara after the owners’ home town in County Derry, Ireland. Some years later, when John and Audrey were thinking of a name for their new vineyard, they recalled the great times at Drumsara as it evoked thoughts of what was important to them: family, friends, food, wine and the enjoyment of life.
