Marco Lubiana 'One Terroir' Pinot Noir 2022
The 2022 One Terroir Pinot Noir is from one parcel of pinot off gravelly clay higher up on the estate hill, it is more exposed to westerly weather conditions and produces a low crop with great phenolic ripeness especially in 2022 when it was a cooler, more drawn out season. I use 100% whole bunch on this cuvee as it has good phenolic ripeness in the stems and typically ferment it for 2 weeks with foot stomping to break the cap up (no sulfur during fermentation).
I find with my whole bunch wines that it takes them a few hours to open up, I would recommend decanting. Don't expect it to be cherries and vanilla because it is not, it is a wine for the brain, watch it and sip it over 3 days if you can. Great with food. As it has already had one year in bottle but needs more time. From certified biodynamic vineyards. - Marco Lubiana.
