Critics Ratings

'The 2017 Le Luc Pinot Noir is 20% whole-bunch-fermented. It has a wonderful bouquet, pure and refined, featuring red cherry, cranberry and rose petal aromas that gain intensity with aeration. The medium-bodied palate delivers supple tannins, a svelte texture, fleshy, dense cranberry and crushed strawberry fruit and a slightly bitter-edged finish. This is as delicious as it is fascinating.' - Neal Martin, Vinous, 92/100 (Oct 2019)

'This is the second usable crop from this 1.3-hectare vineyard, but the first release. It's a very promising wine from young vines, showing scented, rose petal and lily aromas, smooth red berry fruit and supporting acidity. One to keep an eye on. 2019-24.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 93/100
