From De Bortoli's family-owned Lusatia Park Vineyard in the Upper Yarra Valley, the Lusatia Pinot Noir 2019 is a refined 100% Pinot Noir from 35-year-old vines on deep red volcanic basalt soils. Hand-harvested grapes undergo cool fermentation with partial whole-bunch inclusion, followed by maturation in French oak barriques for 10-12 months to build structure and depth. Sustainable practices and the site's north-facing aspect yield a deep ruby wine with opulent complexity and site-specific charm.
Tasting Notes An elegant, layered red with dark cherry and spice, reflecting Yarra Valley's cool-climate finesse. The nose reveals mulberries, blood plums, poached raspberries, cherries, orange zest, and hints of spice and earth. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied and poised, with smooth tannins, balanced acidity, and flavors of dark fruit, zest, and subtle oak, leading to a long, lingering finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2019 Lusatia Pinot Noir earned 93 points from The Wine Advocate for its dense flavor and opulent richness, and 93 points from Australian Wine Review for its brooding depth and commitment to terroir.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 14-16°C with 45-60 minutes of decanting to unfold aromas. Ideal with roasted duck, mushroom risotto, or lamb. Enjoy now through 2032, developing greater earthy and savory nuances over time.
