Description

Alex Russell’s obsession with quality and sustainability is unwavering. Nowhere is that more evident than with the release of his newest label, Russell & Suitor. Endlessly zealous about quality and craft, 2019 has seen Alex has set his sights on the cooler climate of Pipers River, north of Launceston, Tasmania.

Under Russell & Suitor, Alex has been reinvigorated by the idyllic and pristine terroir of Tasmania, and the new opportunities such a climate presents. Alex has grabbed the bull by the horns with that familiar confidence beloved by Alex Russell Wines loyalists, yet with the gentle hand required of cool-climate winemaking.

Tasting Note
Bright dark brick red colour with tinges of black to the edges and a light red hue. On the nose it’s all about fleshy dark fruit and plums integrated with spicy French oak and a dash of musk. On the palate, soft tannins open the gate to a subtle mid palate followed by a long soft finish. This vintage is a delightful mix of sweet fruit, a touch of garrigue and a savoury edge.

Goes well with
Duck, rabbit, lamb or just on its own.

Cellaring
2-4 years.
