Stefano Lubiana Estate La Roccia Single Block Pinot Noir 2023 from the Derwent Valley is a seriously exciting Tasmanian pinot – cut from a rocky limestone shelf that gives the wine its trademark power, structure and mineral drive while still feeling beautifully refined and modern in style.

In the glass, this La Roccia Pinot Noir 2023 is intense and perfumed with dark cherry, raspberry, cassis and bergamot, layered with white pepper, black tea, crushed rock and sandalwood, flowing into a long, tightly wound palate of pure fruit, firm yet silky tannins and a savoury, ageworthy finish.

At the table, Stefano Lubiana La Roccia Pinot Noir sings with roast duck, venison, chargrilled lamb, truffled mushroom dishes and hard Alpine cheeses, and its line of acidity plus serious tannin structure make it a brilliant match for rich slow‑cooked beef ragu or porcini‑laden pasta.
