Tasting Notes
Ricky Evans of Two Tonne Tasmania is known for producing some very exciting Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, highlighting a myriad of different sites across Tasmania. For me though, it's his Riesling's that I love the most... The TMV balances fruit with a touch of residual sugar and acidity expertly. A very fragrant and aromatic wine packed full of citrus and green apple, slightly chalky and very focussed. If you are looking for a bit more residual sugar then check out his Dog and Wolf Riesling too. - Pete 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.
