Our 2010 Ironstone Pinot Noir and 2010 Chardonnay-Viognier are now available. The Lithostylis 2010 Ironstone Pinot Noir, grown 100% on the volcanic Ironstone soils of South Gippsland, displays the vibrant acidity, aromatics, lightness of palate and fine tannins which we associate with the Pinot Noir-Ironstone interaction. A sweet nose of strawberries, lavender and white chocolate gives way to a spicy palate, with background notes of raspberry, mandarin and coffee. The palate shows mouth-watering acidity and a lingering savoury finish. A light and balanced Pinot Noir, with fine supporting tannins. The Lithostylis 2010 Chardonnay-Viognier displays strong aromas of apricot, toast, almonds, grapefruit and white flowers. The palate is rich, with strong, lingering stone fruit flavours and some savoury phenolics to provide structure. The co-fermentation of Chardonnay with Viognier has elevated the aromatics and richness of the palate, whilst still retaining the finesse and citrus backbone of a straight Chardonnay. It is a wine which is not for the faint-hearted, packed full of flavour, structure and aroma. You can buy both of these wines at our online shop.
