The Stargazer Palisander Pinot Noir 2024 is a captivating Tasmanian red that beautifully expresses the elegance, perfume, and finesse of cool-climate Pinot Noir. Crafted from single-vineyard fruit grown in the Coal River Valley, this wine reflects both site and season, offering depth of character and exceptional drinkability.

For those who love artisanal Tasmanian Pinot Noir, this release is a standout.
