Chatto Pinot Noir TRIO

MIXED SIX contains 2 x 2024 Lutruwita, 2 x 2023 Killara Farm & 2 x 2023 Franklinii Pinots

Jim Chatto came to Tasmania in 1998, freshly recruited to be the winemaker at the then Rosevears Estate (since incorporated into Tamar Ridge Wines). Chatto's career moved on a steep trajectory, culminating in his appointment as Chief Winemaker for McWilliam's Wines Group. Meanwhile, Jim and wife Daisy have established their own vineyard at Cygnet in the Huon Valley.  They also source fruit from premium growers around the state.

2024 Chatto Lutruwita Pinot Noir:  MULTI-REGIONAL. Michele's notes: Ruby garnet hues. Intense briar fruits with a touch of resin/smokiness. An aromatic lift of raspberry, red currant and cranberry gives the nose plenty of appeal. Fruity elements with liquorice, mocha and toasty notes from the oak combine harmoniously on the palate. Excellent 'black tea' tannins and a touch of astringency on the finish.

2023 Chatto Killara Farm Pinot Noir: COAL RIVER VALLEY - Michele's notes: Deep, glittering crimson/magenta. Intense dark berry fruits, chocolate, aromatic cardamom. A complex and energetic wine, chock full of dark fruit. Subdued but savoury oak influence supports the fabulous fruit. Excellent cellar proposition.

2023 Chatto Franklinii Pinot: HUON VALLEY - Michele's notes: Crimson/ruby in colour. Dark cherry, milk chocolate and fennel all contribute to the alluring nose. Intense fruit on the palate is matched by lively but balanced acidity. Vivacious and energetic, and very tasty.
