Josef Chromy Wines is one of Tasmania’s most iconic wineries, founded by Czech-born Josef Chromy, a post-war immigrant who became a visionary in Australian viticulture. Located just south of Launceston, the estate is at the forefront of premium cool-climate winemaking, consistently producing wines that reflect the purity, elegance, and vibrancy of Tasmania’s pristine environment.
Elegant yet expressive, the 2023 Pinot Noir from Josef Chromy is a benchmark Tasmanian red, perfumed, vibrant, and full of charm. Aromatically captivating, it opens with a burst of red fruit: juicy raspberry, ripe strawberry, and sour cherry mingle with notes of pomegranate and a subtle lift of rose petals. Hints of sweet spice and gentle oak warmth add dimension without overshadowing the fruit. The palate is sleek and precise with crunchy acidity and moderate tannins that frame a concentrated core of red berries, offering both vibrancy and depth. A fine thread of spice and minerality runs through to a long, polished finish. This is a Pinot Noir that balances richness and finesse with clarity and poise – drinkable now, but with the structure and complexity to reward cellaring through 2033.
