WoodLawn

Tamar Valley, Tasmania

SUSTAINABLE - MINIMAL INTERVENTION

Formerly Two Tonne Tasmania, Woodlawn represents the full spectrum of wines crafted by Ricky Evans. It accounts for Two Tonne Tasmania, Havilah and a slew of Single Vineyard wines which are made at the mercy of the Tamar’s seasonality.

While Two Tonne, the first of the brands originated in the Tamar, it now focuses on the sub regionality of Tasmania. The core of Two Tonne is from the Tamar Valley (TMV) and grown by Ricky and his family while the wine produced from the East (EST) and South (STH) of the state are sourced from likeminded growers, who are more often than not, good mates as well. Wine- making here embraces fruit purity acting only as a frame for vintage and terroir.

Havilah, established in 2019, began as an outlet for Ricky’s creativity, exploring technique and varietal in equal measure. It offered an opportunity to handle fruit that otherwise didn’t fit with the concept of Two Tonne. While the wines still explore technique, experience with them means their style is more defined and a core range has emerged which includes Pinot Gris, Rose, an orange wine and a couple of reds.

The Single Vineyard wines, which could really fall under any of the three banners, have come through Ricky’s expansion of vineyard management and another level of care applied to several of the very best sites across the Tamar. The wines are terroir focused and lean into the longevity of the varietals when vinified at their best.

Woodlawn presents itself as one of the future greats of the Tamar Valley and we are ecstatic to be representing the breadth of Ricky’s talent.

2023 HAVILAH PINOT GRIS - TAMAR VALLEY TAS

100% Tamar Valley, this pinot gris has been produced with a combination of techniques to develop shape and texture. It has the typical fresh cut pear, apple and stone fruit characters that make Tasmanian pinot gris so very delicious and easy to drink

2023 HAVILAH ‘OGG’ GRIS GEWURTZ RIZZ - TAMAR VALLEY TAS - SKIN CONTACT

It’s a textural skin contact wine here, coming from a bunch of different varieties, made in a bunch of different ways. For those who need to know; gris, gewurz, tropical chard, schonburger.

2023 HAVILAH ‘ROG’ PINOT GRIS - TAMAR VALLEY TAS - ROSE OF GRIS

This had another name but ‘ROG’ is more friendly. It’s rose made from pinot gris, a different style compared with the pinot noir version. A few days soaking on skins, pressed into older casks, left on lees for a while until it felt right, ROG is fuller & richer in style.

2023 HAVILAH ROSE - TAMAR VALLEY TAS

100% pinot noir grown specifically for this wine, by Bill at Glen Shian, also one of the nicest guys. Expect a crisp, delicate expression, with just enough texture from time on lees to balance the fresh feel.

2021 HAVILAH SHIRAZ - TAMAR VALLEY TAS

There is some lovely, albeit, tiny patches of this noble grape in Tasmania, we found one. On the western side of the Tamar Valley, I had my eye on this for years, and here we are, in a year warm enough to ripen it neatly. This is typically cool climate, but I still call it shiraz; white pepper, blue fruits, fresh and crunchy acidity. Spent some time in one of those real big fancy barrels that all winemakers secretly want to turn into a swimming pool one day.

2021 HAVILAH CABERNET FRANC - TAMAR VALLEY TAS

Cab Franc, Tasmania? Yes, you heard correctly. Hailing from the black clay of the Coal River valley, the season is long and slow with this one, in this place. By far the last into the winery, literally seems like it is winter when it comes through the gate.Look for the blue fruit, spice, and that dark earth character you get from this part of Tasmania, light the fire and let it warm up in the glass.

2022 TWO TONNE TASMANIA ‘TMV’ PINOT NOIR - TAMAR VALLEY TAS

This wine is from Tasmania’s Tamar Valley (TMV). Beginning just south of Launceston the valley winds 50km north to its meeting point with the powerful Bass Strait. Produced from different sites, our intent with this wine is to reflect what we believe are the standout characteristics of the Tamar Valley sub region. We pick each vineyard at the right time, resulting in a juicy and vibrant pinot noir that expresses red fruits and spice. There is softness within its warm heart, it leaves you with a trail of freshness and closes with strawberry seed-like tannin. This is produced from all four of our own sites, plus two dedicated growers, it is a true representation of the valley.

2021 WOODLAWN WAVERLY VINEYARD CHARDONNAY - TAMAR VALLEY TAS

Waverley is situated just to the east of Launceston, with a little bit of elevation, it is more influenced by the surrounding mountains, rather than the Tamar River. This vineyard was planted in 2005, and we have farmed out ourselves since 2015. At the time, the owner had stepped away, and the vineyard was derelict. Naively, I went and knocked on the door of the owner, convincing him to let me take it on. Five years later I was still sorting it out, and producing very light crops, but always super quality. This has always been the more pure fruited component of the Dog & Wolf, the site seems to hold its acidity, and the wines are lacy and bright with line and length. Fermented in second use 500L puncheons, a touch of MLF, it spent 10 months in barrel before being transferred to tank to rest on light lees for a further 4 months.

2021 WOODLAWN THREE WISHES VINEYARD PINOT NOIR - TAMAR VALLEY TAS

Situated just north of Hillwood on the eastern bank of the Tamar River, this is a beautiful and unique site, planted in 2000. Protected from the northerly winds of bass strait, the vineyard sits in a small valley, facing north/north east, it is a warm site, also influenced by the river which lies a few hundred metres to the south. This bright and sunny microclimate produces a fuller style of chardonnay, richer in its expression, full of flavour, whilst maintaining the natural acidity to match its weight. Fermented in a mix of new and second use 500L puncheons, it spent 11 months in barrels prior to 3 months resting on light lees in tank.
