Description

Tasmania and Pinot Rosé go hand in hand, and Ricky Evans knows exactly how to get the best from both. This year’s release is 100% Pinot Noir, sourced from two standout sites: Glen Shian in Relbia (early-ripening fruit with soft acidity) and Ricky’s own Woodlawn Vineyard (Abel clone, bright acid, savoury edge).

The fruit from Glen Shian was pressed straight to a mix of tank and seasoned foudre, adding depth and silkiness, while the Woodlawn component fermented in steel, keeping things crisp and vibrant. Bone dry, beautifully pale and effortlessly elegant, it’s the kind of rosé that balances freshness with a little extra weight, making it perfect for both summer sipping and year-round drinking.

It’s all about wild strawberries, citrus zest and a savoury, saline twist, with a clean, thirst-quenching finish. Put it on ice and pair it with good food, good company, and plenty of sunshine.

This year’s Havilah’s 100% Pinot Noir rosé comprises fruit from two vineyards: Glen Shian in Relbia and Ricky’s Woodlawn Vineyard near Swan Bay in Tamar Valley. The Glen Shian fruit was pressed as whole bunches to a mix of steel tank and one seasoned 2000-litre foudre for fermentation, while the Woodlawn fruit fermented in a steel tank. Glen Shian tends to ripen early and give fruit with slightly less acidity than nearby sites. These qualities allow Ricky to ferment to bone dryness and give a super light, elegant style of rosé. This year, Ricky had the luxury of adding some of his homegrown fruit to the mix, specifically a batch of Woodlawn’s Abel clone that lends a spine of acidity, some bright berry pop, and a complexing savoury profile.

Woodlawn Tasmania

Woodlawn Tasmania is the umbrella under which Ricky Evans' three wine labels coalesce.

His three labels include the regional Two Tonne Tasmania series of Tamar Valley Riesling, Chardonnay and sub-regional Pinot Noirs, the experimental series of wines under the Havilah label made for his wine bar in Launceston of the same name and his Single Vineyard range of exceptional premium wines from his beloved Tamar Valley vineyards farmed by Ricky himself.

Evans is one of Tasmania's most dynamic winemakers. Over his time since serendipitously starting the Two Tonne Tasmania label in 2013, Ricky's approach to both farming grapes and making wine has matured dramatically. The young gun is now an established player in the upper echelon of the island and is set to be one of Tasmania's most influential voices in wine for many years to come.
