Tasting Notes
Ricky's wines have always been worth the excitement. We've loved his Tamar Valley and Ziggurat Riesling's and they've always been a huge hit with customers. This is the first Riesling he has made under The Dog And Wolf label, shifting in style slightly too. A blend of three sites across the island, what he calls the right ripening season laid the foundations for a style of Riesling he has wanted to make for a while.... An Off Dry Riesling! This is a really balanced example of the style with the right level of acidity to keep things fresh and perky. Loved it. - Peter L
Two Tonne Tasmania is the personal project of Ricky Evans, one of the state’s most exciting young winemakers. Born and raised in Launceston, Ricky honed his craft with vintages in Burgundy and at home in Tasmania before founding Two Tonne in 2013. The name refers to the tiny scale of his first vintage – just two tonnes of fruit – and reflects the hands-on, small-batch ethos that still defines the label today.
The focus is firmly on cool-climate varieties, with Pinot Noir at the core, sourced from sites across the Tamar Valley and other parts of northern Tasmania. Chardonnay and Riesling also feature strongly, each handled with minimal intervention to preserve clarity and freshness. The vineyards are chosen for their ability to express site character, and the fruit is handled gently: wild ferments, restrained extraction, sensitive oak use and a philosophy that favours purity and finesse over power.
Ricky’s wines are celebrated for their brightness, texture and balance, capturing the energy of Tasmania’s cool climate and diverse soils. Two Tonne Tasmania has become a touchstone for modern, site-driven Tasmanian wine – approachable in youth, yet always carrying the structure and detail to reward time in the cellar.
