2021 St Huberts Cellar Reserve Pinot Noir

A slight divergence from the classic "fuller'' St Huberts style of Pinot Noir. Despite having power, the aim of this wine is to display fruit clarity and purity. Selected barrels of MV6 (-80%) and115 (-20%) were assembled to make the blend. Fruit for the wine was sourced from Justin Fahey's vineyard on the valley floor adjacent to the Maroondah Highway. Open pot, short and hot ferment, pressed to oak just before dryness and matured in French barrels.

Matured for nine months in 100% French oak barriques, with around 45% new.

Drink now to enjoy vibrant varietal flavours or allow depth and complexity to grow over the next five years or so.
