Another wine from our March trip to Tassie. Providence is an interesting vineyard to visit, it operates like an agent for a large number of other Tasmanian wine companies. You can taste a range of Providence wines and when it comes time to make a purchase you can choose from a range of about 50 others, many hard to get wineries included. The callar door is manned by the owners and they are very knowledgable about the wines on sale, and about the tasmanian Industry as a whole.
This wine was quite a light bright ruby colour, the nose speaks of pinot noir, strawberries and red cherries some leesy yeasty aromas, the palate is in the strawberry and sour cherry spectrum sappy with good length. Quite full in the mouth and will improve over 3-4 years.
