Two Tonne Tasmania
Tasmania.
Available in Victoria, New South Wales, ACT, Western Australia.
Ricky Evans is undoubtedly one of the trailblazers of the Tamar—and indeed of the modern Australian wine scene. His big break came in 2013 when he secured two prized tonnes of Tamar Valley Pinot Noir. This was no small feat; premium Tasmanian Pinot Noir is not easy to come by, as anyone will attest. However, it was a season marked by healthy yields, allowing Ricky to edge his way into a tight-knit region and kick off his Two Tonne Tasmania label with pristine fruit from a great vineyard (Rosevears). The resulting wine generated excitement throughout the country and launched an exciting career for this young grower.
Two Tonne Tasmania is now firmly entrenched in the Australian Wine scene. The wines look deep into Tasmania’s niche terroirs and blends them together to best represent the sub-regions of Tasmania. Under this label, Ricky makes Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the Tamar Valley (TMV), East (EST) and South (STH) of the state. These wines are all about consistency and restraint; they truly encapsulate these classic varietals from each corner of Tasmania.
