‘Luta’, derived from Lutum, Latin for clay – pays reference to the Moutere clays of which the grapes are grown.
These wines are made from grapes harvested in the 2022 vintage and are a selection of barrels that we believe are the most honest and pure expression of the sites. These wines are aged for longer at every step, from barrel to tank and again in the bottle prior to release. Limited quantities available.

These were then racked and blended in stainless steel and aged for a further 6 months before bottling in January 2023.
Bright, red berry fruits wrapped in delicate smoky, earthy aromatics. This wine is plump and fleshy with bright red fruits dominating the palate. Gentle, soft, mouth-filling tannin with a fleshy whole bunch feel to finish leaving you salivating and wanting more."
