2024 Chatto Lutruwita Pinot Noir

Established in 2000 by Jim and Daisy Chatto, Chatto Wines is dedicated exclusively to Pinot Noir. With over two decades of experience and numerous accolades—including Gourmet Traveller Wine’s Winemaker of the Year—Jim Chatto crafts small-batch, site-expressive wines. The home vineyard in the Huon Valley is planted to eight Pinot clones, producing elegant, intensely flavoured wines in tiny quantities. The 2024 vintage followed Tasmania’s driest summer on record, delivering clean, concentrated fruit. These are structured, expressive Pinots with immediate appeal and excellent cellaring potential.

Lutruwita, named after the palawa kani word for Tasmania, brings together fruit from across six key sub-regions: Huon Valley (26%), Derwent Valley (26%), Coal Valley (16%), Pipers River (12%), Tamar Valley (10%) and the East Coast (10%). Handpicked and fermented on skins for ten days with gentle plunging, it captures the essence of Tasmanian Pinot—bright, perfumed and elegant, with fine structure and wonderful purity of length.

This is firm. This is serious. Black cherry and woodsy spice characters lead into aromatic herbs and plum. It has a minerally edge, a tonic infusion, a nori roll aspect, and a noteworthy push of tannin. You can drink this now but it’s going nowhere in a hurry. Drink 2026-2032+

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front

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.
