2022 St Huberts Pinot Noir
St Huberts Pinot is usually designed to be a 'fuller' style Yarra Pinot, with more depth and concentration than many of our local brethren. Fruit is sourced from the Lower Yarra Valley flats and hillside slopes. This wine features MV6, 114, Pommard and 115 clones, In the winery, a percentage of whole bunches in the ferments, a little barrel fermentation, some time on lees, and a lick of good French oak add complexity to the wines. Most importantly the wines - look like a Pinot (not dry red) and show regional character.
Glace and sour cherries with gamey, earthy, and graphite notes. Some funk and bunch. Spicey oak frames the wine.
Matured for eight months in 100% French oak barriques, with around 22% new.
Drink now to enjoy vibrant varietal flavours or allow depth and complexity to grow over the next five years or so.

"The wine is light-medium bodied and supple. Cherries and red fruits with savoury spice. Even across the palate with silky tannins. "
