The 2023 Stefano Lubiana Single Block La Roccia Pinot Noir is a premium Australian red wine from the Derwent Valley in Tasmania, crafted by Stefano Lubiana Wines. Sourced from a distinctive vineyard block, this cool-climate Pinot Noir reflects the estate's biodynamic approach and Tasmania's exceptional growing conditions. Its anticipated aromas reveal ripe red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry, complemented by delicate notes of violet, forest floor, dried herbs and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is expected to be medium-bodied with silky tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavours of juicy cherry, cranberry and red plum unfold alongside hints of earthy mushroom, gentle oak spice and savoury herbs. Its concentrated fruit character is balanced by refined structure and mineral freshness, leading to a long, elegant finish with lingering red berries and earthy complexity.
