Description
Product Description: Lutruwita is Chatto’s Tasmanian blend, a celebration of the island’s diversity of vineyards and clones. The 2024 release draws fruit from Huon, Derwent, Coal River, Pipers River, Tamar and the East Coast, bringing together five Pinot Noir clones in a layered expression of the state. Handpicked and gently vinified with a touch of whole bunch and a measured oak influence, this cuvee is finely tuned yet approachable. The result is a Pinot Noir that captures both brightness and savoury depth, with spice and structure lending definition to its vivid fruit. Tasting Notes NOSE – Bright red fruits Raspberry, red cherry and currant lifted with spice, herbs and a subtle smoky edge. PALATE – Juicy and structured Vibrant fruit framed by fine tannins, oak spice and a mineral freshness, with savoury nuances adding depth. FINISH – Youthful length Fresh and persistent, carried by fine-grained tannins and a touch of grip. Reviews & Accolades Medium depth purple colour, bright and youthful. A little smoky reduction at first sniff along with rich, ripe dark-cherry aromas, the palate following on with rich, sweetly ripe cherry flavours laced with spices and some meaty/toasty nuances. Lovely wine, just finishes slightly grippy with a hint of bitterness, which food would take care of. Plenty to like here, and it has a future.” – Huon Hooke, The Real Review, 94 points Finer Details: Style – Red Wine Varietal – Pinot Noir Country – Australia Region – Tasmania Vintage – 2024 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 14% Closure – Screw cap
