Perfumed Red Cherries, Forest Floor, and Cool-Climate Yarra Valley Finesse

The 2021 De Bortoli "Lusatia Park" Yarra Valley Pinot Noir is an exceptionally elegant, highly perfumed, and detailed single-vineyard Australian Pinot Noir. Sourced from the famous, high-altitude Woori Yallock sub-region, it captures the brilliant cool-climate freshness of the 2021 vintage. Vibrant aromas of wild red cherries, raspberries, dried rose petals, and whole-bunch savory spice lead into a silky, medium-bodied palate framed by fine-grained tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish.

Terroir & Winemaking

  • The Renowned Lusatia Park Terroir: Planted in 1985 in Woori Yallock, Lusatia Park is widely celebrated as one of the Upper Yarra Valley's benchmark vineyards. Its steep, north-facing slopes and deep red volcanic soils yield Pinot Noir with magnificent perfume, vibrant acidity, and unmistakable structural refinement.
  • Artisanal De Bortoli Winemaking: Crafted by Chief Winemaker Steve Webber using partial whole-bunch fermentation, wild yeasts, and gentle gravity handling. Maturation in large French oak puncheons protects the delicate red fruit perfume while building a silky, layered, and hauntingly persistent palate profile.

Highlights

  • 100% Pinot Noir harvested from old vines in the famous single-vineyard Lusatia Park in Woori Yallock.
  • A radiant 2021 release offering wild red berries, floral rose perfume, and subtle whole-bunch herbal spice.
  • Crafted by De Bortoli, an iconic family winery leading Australia's cool-climate Pinot Noir revolution.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Bright ruby-red core with luminous garnet reflections at the rim.
  • Nose: Intensely floral and perfumed. It opens with aromas of wild red cherries, cranberries, and fresh raspberries, accompanied by dried rose petals, damp forest floor, and whole-bunch herbal spice.
  • Palate: Dry, medium-bodied, and beautifully silky. The entry delivers a succulent wave of crunchy red berry sap that glides across ultra-fine tannins, concluding with vibrant acidity and a long, mineral-driven finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve slightly cool at 14–16°C. A gentle chill highlights its floral perfume and bright fruit purity.
  • Decanting: A brief 15-to-20 minute decant or aeration helps uncoil its floral layers. Best enjoyed over the next 6 to 10 years.
  • Western Pairing: Roast duck breast, pan-seared pork chops with cherry reduction, mushroom risotto, or herb-crusted rack of lamb.
  • Asian Pairing: Peking duck, Cantonese roast duck, Five-spice roasted pork (Char Siu), or Taiwanese braised pork.
