Marco Lubiana Pinot Noir 2021

This wine boasts a delightful fragrance, brimming with the essence of pinot noir. Its aromatic profile features enticing notes of dark cherry, infused with hints of exotic spices and amaro, complemented by undertones of pressed flowers, earth, and subtle gamey nuances. Bright and complex on the palate, it offers a myriad of flavors with plenty of depth and detail. A vibrant acidity adds a refreshing touch, making it an absolute pleasure to drink.

A blend of fruit from the Stefano Lubiana Vineyard (Derwent Valley) and Lucille Vineyard (Huon Valley) The Derwent portion looked very good at harvest. It came off the Ruscello block which features loam over white/grey gravel. This portion was fermented with 100% whole bunches over 10 days. light foot plunges only. The Huon portion was a mix of clones from all over the vineyard, all destemmed and sorted to discard any berries left split or shrivelled from the rain. The intact fruit was very good. It underwent whole-berry fermentation over 10 days with only a few pumpovers. Barrel treatment of 20-25% new oak, all 228-litre barriques. I was originally going to make two single-terroir wines but the wine tasted better as a blend. After nine months' maturation, racked and blended the Pinot Noir. This wine has the softness and elegant fruit of the Huon combined with the structure and spice of the Derwent. This approachable wine will drink well young.
