La Roccia: the rock. This block is 1.5ha in size and is located on a beautiful north-eastern hillside, overlooking the Derwent River at an elevation of 80m. This block is mostly terra rossa soil, deep red clay-marl over clay, with limestone bedrock. Free, draining, high-pH soil. The Pinot clones consist of 667 and 115, and are on their own roots. This block is always the first to be harvested and consistently provides the most structure and tannin of the three sites, necessitating longer ageing in bottle to come into full balance. The vines grown in this parcel have the lowest vigour and therefore the most exposure to the sun. There is a big rock shelf in the middle of the block, whence it derives its name. – Steve & Monique Lubiana

This has a very powerful and complex attitude with rich red and dark cherries, framed in spicy oak with forest wood and fresh, leafy notes. Violets. blueberries and sliced pastry, too. The palate is immaculately structured and has such attractively fresh blueberries and red cherries with refined, glossy tannins. Impressive Pinot. Drink or hold.

This is the diplomat of this triumvirate and damn, holy it is. Mid-weight, crunchy and melding the red berry sass of the Ruscello plot with the herbal spine of the Il Giardino and its whole-cluster drive. This is infinitely long, etched with tannin, extract and sex appeal. Refined. Gorgeous. Length pushes the score. These single-plot pinots are among the finest of the country, demanding serious attention.
