Description

The Lutruwita is Chatto’s way of bottling Tasmania as a whole – a blend of Pinot Noir from six regions across the island, pulled together with care and a light hand. For a lot of people, it’s their first step into the world of Chatto – and a pretty compelling one at that.

The fruit comes from vineyards in the Huon, Derwent, Coal, Tamar, Pipers and the East Coast, with each parcel adding its own flavour and feel. Some bring perfume, others bring structure, and Jim brings it all together in a style that’s bright, layered and seriously drinkable.

The 2024 has that effortless flow Chatto fans will recognise – lifted fruit, fine tannins, a bit of spice and a subtle savoury edge. It’s a Pinot that feels relaxed but quietly detailed, and just gets better with each glass.

"Rich, sweetly ripe cherry flavours laced with spices and some meaty/toasty nuances... finishes slightly grippy with a hint of bitterness... Plenty to like here."

Medium depth purple colour, bright and youthful. A little smoky reduction at first sniff along with rich, ripe dark-cherry aromas, the palate following on with rich, sweetly ripe cherry flavours laced with spices and some meaty/toasty nuances. Lovely wine, just finishes slightly grippy with a hint of bitterness, which food would take care of. Plenty to like here, and it has a future."

Chatto Wines

Jim Chatto is revered as one of the finest winemakers currently working in Australia.

His recent reinvigoration at Mount Pleasant in the Hunter Valley has received phenomenal critical acclaim, as has his personal Tasmanian project, Chatto wines.

After purchasing a plot of land that Jim describes as "right on the edge of viticultural possibility", planting began in 2007.

In only a short amount of time, this site has produced some extraordinary wines and looks set to become one of the Apple Isle most prized viticultural assets.
