2021 St Huberts MUSEUM Pinot Noir - Gold December Shipment
*Limit of 1 per member*
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. 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.
Matured for eight months in 100% French oak barriques, with around 30% new.
Nose - Vibrant and complex. Cherries and strawberry jam with earthy, forest floor notes. Spicey oak frames the wine.
Palate - The wine is light-medium bodied and supple. Good balance with a stabilising acid line. Vibrant cherries and red fruits with savoury spice. Even across the palate with silky tannins.
Drink now to enjoy vibrant varietal flavours or allow depth and complexity to grow over the next five years or so.
