About the wine
A Tasmanian wonder of the Naked world!
- Looking for something a little different in your Pinot? You've found it! The fruit used to create this wine comes from sites that are sloped to the river and ripen earlier than many other vineyards in the Tamar Valley. The climate conditions produced grapes with the perfect balance of acid, tannin and ripeness.
- All grapes were hand picked, and fermented naturally in open fermenters with no additions. The fruit was packed with variety of bunch size, flavour concentration and time of ripening. When it came to blending, Cynthea and David had a huge range of options. This is where their talent shines!
- A deep scarlet colour will fill your glass, with perfumed aromas of violets and cherries leaping out. The first sip is like devouring a cup of summer berries! Fresh, red, juicy and delicious. The palate opens up, with savoury and spicy notes and plush sweet fruit. It's medium bodied and beautiful from bottle to the bottom of your glass; certainly the kind of wine you want to have for a special occasion with great food and with great company. Get in quick to secure some of this small batch wonder for yourself!
Best before
Oh you mainlanders BE NICE TO PINOT! its meant to be light and delicate, its not meant to be huge and opaque and high alcohol. Its a dainty little sister with poise and elegance not the burly brother.
Pinot Noir rewards a patient drinker.....if you want the wine to be jumping out of the glass the moment it is poured, then sometimes Pinot can be the child that is a little shy for a while then all of a sudden owns the whole stage. Pinot is a sipping wine sometimes with the pinky up! A larger bowl is also good as it can allow more aromatics to come out of the wine as it is swirled around the bowl.
Just make sure you can open it with good family and friends and with delicious food!
Always a grea experiment is to open your wine and serve it at the right temperature, for a Pinot Noir that is 16-18"C, so depending on when you are drinking it you may have to put it in a cooler or warm it up..... the flavours are at their peak at the right temperatures. We also recommend opening a young wine and during a glass then decanting the remainder of the bottle. This experiment allows you to see what the control wine is (the one with no air) and the wine with some air into it (the decanted portion).
we think this wine is purring right now but will also age well for up to 5 years.
Serving advice
Pinot Noir is a drink anywhere and at anytime wine. It can be chilled a little for hot summers or warmed in winter with cosy dinners by the fire. The versatility of this variety is making it quite a popular style and its hard to find just anywhere! Tasmania has the perfect climate to grow this variety and whilst you can buy large corporate commercial styles in the bigger supermarket chains, its very hard to find smaller boutique producers at this quality level with the same price.
Tasmania produces only 1% of Australia's rape harvest but it is by far the most expensive fruit in the nation due to its demand, and cool climate quality. Angels really are getting the best value!!
Food match
We have a deer problem here in Tasmania and we are lucky enough to have friends that like to bring us some wild caught venison and Pinot Noir goes so well with game meats like venison. You can also purchase ethically sourced venison here in Tasmania which we also like to use in sausages and also spaghetti sauce and always have a Pinot Noir with it! Tasmania also grows mazing truffles, and so in winter we love freshly made pasta with freshly shaved truffle which is way cheaper than it is in France!!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Cynthea & David Feldheim
This canny couple from the Tamar Valley has captivated Angels with their Gypsy Caravan offerings of tiny volume, hand-made deliciousness. The name reflects freedom, the ‘wild’ way the wines are made and the close relationship they have with this pristine place.
Cynthea has been making wine magic for 23 years. Bitten by the wine bug when her parents moved from San Francisco to Tassie and planted their own vineyard, she ended up studying winemaking and wine marketing. Then the world became her vinous oyster!
It’s hard to find great Tasmanian wines by little family winemakers like these outside of cellar doors and fancy restaurants. The Feldheim's exclusive access to parcels of lovingly tended fruit from mature vines means their Tamar Valley tipples are the next level in quality and value. Angel support has been so powerful, they’ve been able to take over the family vineyard - the first Tasmanian cellar door - and return it to its former glory.
