The Nouveau bottling is the legacy of Tasmania's devastating 2019 bushfires when no single-vineyard Pinot was bottled. Instead, the fruit Dredge could rescue ended up in a juicy, lip-smacking blend. 2020’s iteration is a fusion of Syrah from Meadowbank's Top Woolshed vineyard and 10% old-vine Pinot. Dredge picked the Syrah early for freshness and vivacity, and the crop was fully destemmed. The Pinot was partially fermented as whole bunches, bringing “fresh fruit lift, softening the grip, and introducing floral aromas”. With a portion of carbonic, the wine spent only 10 days on skins and was matured in old French oak for nine months.
