Noir de Florette 2021 - Lucy Margaux

Noir de Florette - Lucy Margaux

"Noir de Florette" is a fresh and light red wine that comes from the Adelaide Hill. Produced with 100% Pinot Nero grapes that are fermented spontaneously starting with whole bunches to which must is added after 7 days. Its aging continues in old 500 liter oak barrels. It has a ruby ​​red color. The nose offers aromas of raspberries, spicy and earthy notes. The sip is warm, supported by a fresh acidity, with thick tannins, and an excellent finish with flavors of cranberry, cinnamon, red orange and mineral hints. An adorable Pinot Noir. We like it!

Service

We taste it at a temperature of 16/18 ° in tulip glasses. A wine to be drunk immediately but will express its best in a few years.

Pairing

A wine for the whole meal, from an appetizer to a second course of meat, to try with a spaghetti with tomato sauce and pecorino.

Cellar: Lucy Margaux

Lucy Margaux is located in Basket Range, a small town in the Adelaide Hills in South Australia. Behind Lucy Margaux we find Anton Von Klopper, who is considered one of the leaders in the Australian natural wine movement. Of South African origin, 10 years behind in the catering field as chef and sommelier of the Ritz Carlton Group, he decides to change his life and lands in Australia. After graduating with top honors in enology at the University of Adelaide, he spent the next few years traveling around the world working in Germany, New Caledonia, Zeeland and at the Domaine Serene in Oregon. These experiences lead him to declare: "I had the opportunity to work with many winemakers who destroyed the preconceptions I had about winemaking. At Domaine Serena, I realized that all great wines express the place they come from, the terroir and the variety of grapes, and the rest is a rumbling.A good vigneron must have an intimate knowledge of every part of his vineyard, must have a direct relationship with the vines that offer you their fruits, and it would be a shame to manipulate them with chemicals. 2002, with his wife Sally and his daughter Lucy, buys 6 hectares of land and starts planting vines focusing on pinot noir, and since then Lucy Margaux has grown a lot, thanks also to the desire of Anton Von Klopper to experiment to create new, always emotional wines , unmissable and alive.
