From De Bortoli Wines' prestigious Lusatia Park vineyard in the Upper Yarra Valley at Woori Yallock, the Lusatia Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2018 is a premium 100% Pinot Noir sourced from mature vines planted nearly 40 years ago on deep red volcanic basalt soils at 230 meters elevation. Hand-harvested in an exceptional cool vintage, the grapes are gently destemmed and fermented in small open fermenters, followed by maturation for 9 months in a mix of new and used French oak barriques to build texture and complexity while preserving vibrancy. This flagship single-vineyard expression embodies sustainable practices and yields a vibrant ruby wine with remarkable purity and energy.
Tasting Notes An elegant, perfumed red with cherry and earthy finesse, reflecting Upper Yarra Valley's cool-climate allure. The nose unveils red cherry, dark plum, clove, and hints of forest floor with subtle violet and spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and refined, with fine silky tannins, bright acidity, and flavors of juicy red berries, earth, and a touch of mocha, leading to a long, textured finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2018 Lusatia Yarra Valley Pinot Noir earned 95 points from James Suckling for its elegant structure and vibrant fruit expression.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 14-16°C with 30-60 minutes of decanting to unfold aromas. Ideal with roasted duck, mushroom dishes, or charcuterie. Enjoy now through 2030, during which it will develop greater savory depth and silkiness.
