Tasting Notes
Truly the best value Tasmanian Pinot Noir on the market. None of this wish-washy sweet Pinot that I see too often from the Apple Isle. This has density and strength in structure like no other at the price. It's also showing layers of complexity to add to it's repertoire of character. Dark fruited with elements of mushroom and sweet spice. This should be front of mind when it comes to Aussie Pinot Noir. - Chris L
A lesson in humility - I first tried the wine shortly after bottling at their cellar in Hobart, after most of the day at MONA. “Yeah, it’s OK” I thought. But I was wrong. This is now a complex pinot, offering way more than sweeter Tassie fruit. The unfiltered darker dusty red brick colour immediately signals intrigue. Tastes and smells are of dark cherry with hints of the countryside and softer spices (helped by exposure to French oak). Finishing with a very fine chalk texture. 13.7% alc. Quality! - Michael L
Glaetzer-Dixon is a pioneering Tasmanian winery founded by Nick Glaetzer, a member of the renowned Barossa winemaking family. Drawn to the cool-climate potential of Tasmania, Nick established his label in Hobart in 2008, quickly gaining recognition for crafting finely tuned wines that marry regional freshness with depth and texture. In 2011, he became the first Tasmanian winemaker to be awarded Australian Winemaker of the Year by Gourmet Traveller Wine.
The estate works closely with select vineyards across Tasmania, sourcing fruit from carefully chosen sites in the Coal River Valley, Derwent Valley and beyond. Pinot Noir is the cornerstone, expressed through a range of cuvées from bright, approachable styles to more structured, cellar-worthy bottlings. Alongside Pinot, Glaetzer-Dixon produces expressive Syrah, Shiraz blends, Riesling and other small-batch wines, all crafted with a philosophy of minimal intervention, balance and precision.
Marked by purity, vibrancy and a clear sense of place, Glaetzer-Dixon has become a benchmark for Tasmanian winemaking, showcasing the island’s potential on both a national and international stage.
