Cellar Door Tasting: Josef Chromy Wines



Location: About 7 km outside Launceston, Tasmania

Wines Tasted:


The Good:

2010 Josef Chromy Sauvignon Blanc (13.5%). Excellent nose of typical passionfruit and tropical aromas. Good flavour contained with excellent acidity.

2009 Pepik Pinot Noir (13.2%). Delicate and refined. Although relatively young, it has lovely complexity. Although on the fruit driven style of Pinot, it is well balanced and controlled


The Others:

I found the offer of Rieslings either too dry or too sweet (and gluggy). The Pinot Gris has an excellent bouquet but disappoints in flavour.


Overall - Top of the line "Zdar" series was not offered at the free cellar door. Definitely worth a visit. The "beautiful people" of Launceston were lunching there when I attended.
