The palate is concentrated yet finely detailed, with vibrant red fruit framed by silky, powdery tannins and a mineral-driven acidity that carries the wine through to a long, savoury and persistent finish. Elegant, expressive and beautifully composed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ecellaring\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWill reward careful cellaring of seven to ten years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[split]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ewinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHand-picked Pinot Noir was de-stemmed into 1.5T open-top fermenters in addition to several carefully selected parcels of whole clusters, the final blend balancing out to approximately 60% whole-bunch. Primary fermentation was left to occur naturally with no additions. Cap management was exclusively pumping over twice daily to wet the cap and minimise over-extraction. Time on skins was 21 days. The resulting wine was pressed directly to 500L French oak puncheons (35% new) where it rested with minimal intervention for 13 months prior to bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eregion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasmania \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003evariety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eanalysis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol: 14.0%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epH: 3.55\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTA 5.60 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[split]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAwards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNational Wine Show of Australia 2026\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[badge rating=\"gold\" title=\"NSWA 2026\"]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[split]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion 2026\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSourced from several individual slices of the Lowestoft vineyard; 50% whole bunch and matured for 10 months on French oak, 20% new. Mid-ruby with finely honed aromas of dark and red plum and cherries, wild strawberry and raspberry coulis with hints of fine, souk-like spice, crushed minerals, an expression of orange oil, citrus blossom, amaro, shiitake broth, charcuterie, judicious nutty oak, dried citrus rind and a wisp of undergrowth. Gorgeous fruit but man ... that savoury line is fantastic, all tension and stony purpose with melt-in-the-mouth crushed rock tannins and a super-long draw of flavour on the finish. A great release from a superb vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[points rating=\"97+\" title=\"Halliday Wine Companion 2026\"]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lowestoft","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":43865419579462,"sku":"3340PIN24D67","price":130.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1139\/8708\/files\/LOW_Pinot_LaMaisonNEW.jpg?v=1698969459","url":"https:\/\/fogartyhall.wine\/products\/2024-la-maison-pinot-noir","provider":"Fogarty Hall Fine Wine Estates","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
