{"title":"Six Friends Vineyard","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith a lot of work, a lot of advice, a lot of hoping and a few more glasses of wine, the idea became a reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2014 was both a very sad year and a very good vintage. With the sad loss of one of the Friends, the 2014 vintage was named in Penny’s honour, and it was a very good wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard has continued to mature over the years and the wines have been consistently good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey endeavour to make the wine the best they can and will continue to produce a premium, boutique, low volume, high quality wine that is typical of Tasmanian Pinot Noir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix Friends is made from grapes grown exclusively at Burnside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe site is largely frost free and part of the East Coast dry southern climate area and we take a minimal intervention approach to vineyard management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePicking is on a single day and a highlight for the regulars who help out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey produce only 150-200 cases a year and we believe that Pinot is a wine that benefits from some years in the bottle. This means they cellar the wine and only release it very slowly with about 4 years of age. The wines are full flavoured when young but do develop beautifully with time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the beginning their wine has been made by Alain Rousseau at Frogmore Creek. It is open fermented, oaked for 9 months and bottled for storage.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"six-friends-pinot-noir-2021","title":"Six Friends Pinot Noir 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasting notes for Six Friends 2021 Pinot Noir\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eColour: Vibrant Dark Ruby with a clear rim. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNose: Brooding aromas of dark plum fruit, French oak \u0026amp; violets.
