Chatto Wines
Pinot Noir
Notes of Toffee Apple initially - a little reductive to begin with. Pale dirty crimson - transparent in parts - quite Burgundian in colour. A light to medium weight palate but Medium intensity. Like a good Village, verging on Premier Cru. Interesting and tasty but needing about 4 or 5 years more to develop complexity. Jim Chatto is regarded as one of Australia’s best winemakers having been in charge at Mt Pleasant in the Hunter Valley and now running his own show in Tasmania.

Oct 16th, 2022No notes made at the time and it was tasted a week ago. This is one of the Cuvées produced by Jim Chatto who was once the chief winemaker at Mount Pleasant in the Hunter Valley and now makes award winning Pinot Noir in Tasmania. Delectable. This is BIRD Pinot Noir.

Apr 8th, 2022This is the Lutruwita Pinot Noir made by Chatto - not in your database Delectable and understandably so. Bought this today at the Bruny Island Cheese company who make the only raw milk cheese in Australia. This wine was a pale crimson in colour. Nose shows that dried cherry, Sous Bois, whole bunch influences you get from Tasmanian Pinot which makes them so attractive. This is in the lighter palate spectrum. Made by Jim Chatto, one of Australia’s more accomplished winemakers who was the Chief Winemaker at Mount Pleasant, Hunter Valley, before moving to Tasmania like so many in the wine trade and now produces CHATTO Pinot Noir very successfully.
