The Luna Wines 2023 Pinot Noir is a striking modern expression of this beloved variety, crafted with precision and care to showcase its vibrant character. Naturally fermented with 35% whole bunch, this wine spent 21 days on skins before being basket pressed to French oak (25% new) where it matured for 10 months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered after extended lees maturation, it embodies purity and finesse.
Luna Wines was born out of a desire to produce modern, single vineyard Tasmanian wines. These premium wines are truly handcrafted and reflect the pristine and unique Tamar Valley terroir, influenced by the season in which they were grown. Their close-planted vineyard, established at Rosevears in 2001, features naturally low-yielding vines grown with minimal chemical inputs, ensuring exceptional quality and expression.
