It’s a surly wine. It’s bold with fruit, ripped with tannin, has a pretty side but for the most part it feels muscular, even brooding. It tastes of dark berried fruit, florals, soy and woodsy spice. It’s a hard wine to pin down; it’s silken and varietal but it has its own clear personality, it’s just that getting a good read on that personality isn’t easy. It’s intriguing. It’s clearly a quality wine but exactly how good it is will only be revealed in time.
93 points. Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front

Notes
This block is 1.5 ha in size and is located on a beautiful north-eastern hillside, overlooking the Derwent River at an elevation of 80m. This Stefano Lubiana La Roccia Single-Block Pinot Noir 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 tends to produce wines with – if you’ll excuse the term – greater masculinity. It 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 where it derives its name. – Steve & Monique Lubiana
