"Beautifully made wines across the board and one of Tasmania’s most exciting young producers." Dave Brookes | Halliday Wine Companion
Ricky Evans’s wines have earned a strong following for good reason: they are vivid, site-driven and consistently overdeliver for the price. Under the Two Tonne Tasmania label, Ricky explores various sites across the island's sub-regions, shining a light on the unique, terroir-driven aspects of the landscapes and vineyards that define Tasmania’s distinctive regional characters. The 2025 releases are especially compelling, bringing together a quietly glossy TMV Chardonnay and three Pinot Noirs that each speak clearly of place — bright and layered in the Tamar, broader and darker in the south, and finer, more mineral on the Freycinet Coast.
As always, the TMV Chardonnay comes from a blend of sites, anchored by Ricky’s home vineyard, Woodlawn Park. A cool expression of the Tamar Valley, this breezy site is located on free-draining sandy soils near the river in Swan Bay and produces vibrantly pure, potent fruit. The grapes are mostly whole-bunch pressed, settled overnight, and run to oak the following morning, with fermentation carried out predominantly in 500L casks (including a small portion of new oak).
