Tasting Notes
The majority of this wine is Riesling, it was blended with a small amount (12%) of Gewurztraminer, which spent two weeks on skins, carbonic maceration style, before being pressed to an old French barrique, where it matured separately until blending. The result is an aromatic, fresh and textural white wine. Lemongrass, bath salt, spice and peel on the nose. On the palate, crunchy granny smith apple, classic lemon and lime juiciness from the Riesling, aided by sweetness and texture from the gewürztraminer with has been carefully blended to find balance. - Winery Note
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.
