Luta Wines Pinot Noir "Shadow" 2023
Rob and Kate Burley have since 2019 been organically farming a picturesque 5.5 Hectare vineyard in Nelson, planted with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris & Riesling. As the ‘Unkel’, they always allow the wine to do the talking, leading its own life through fermentation and ageing in the winery providing what they believe is the most honest expression of the fruit that they started with.
Luta wines are a recent addition to their Unkel Wines range & are wines made from a selection of barrels that they believe tell the story of the unique Moutere clays & the organic vineyards in which these vines are farmed. These are aged for longer at every step, from barrel to tank and again in the bottle, prior to release.
‘Luta’ - derived from Lutum, the Latin word for clay - pays reference to the Moutere clays where the grapes are grown.
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Pinot Noir from an organically farmed vineyard in Nelson, New Zealand. The Luta series comes from a parcel that has unique Moutere clays soils
Taste Profile: This is the more structured of the two Pinots carrying a slightly deeper fruit spectrum with bright plum, violet flower, dried herbs and spice. This follows onto the pallet with round, mouth coating tannin.
Winemaking Process: The unique thing about Shadows is that all the individual Pinot Noir clones & parcels were fermented differently, to highlight their differences
- 114 - 100% Whole−bunch fermented for 4 days
- 10/5 - Carbonic maceration for 5 days before stomping and leaving for another 5 days as a whole−bunch ferment
- 777 - 100% Destemmed for 7 days
- 115 - 100% Whole−bunch & 50% destemmed fermented for 8 days
- Clone 5 - Destemmed and on skins for 7 days
These Individual parcels were then pressed to old french puncheons and barriques for maturation on fine lees for 10 months. These were then racked and blended in stainless steel and aged for a further 6 months
