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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is the wine that started it all for Ricky, and the 2025 release again shows just how finely the Tamar Valley can be tuned through thoughtful blending.
