Utzinger Roter Satz 2024

(0)

$60.00

The Roter Satz is Utzinger doing what Utzinger does best, taking West Tamar fruit seriously and getting out of its way.

A blend of Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Noir, all hand-picked and fully destemmed before a wild ferment and extended time on skins. Basket pressed into a mix of old and new French oak, then left unfined and unfiltered. The result is a wine that’s honest about what it is and where it comes from.

Dark crimson in the glass, with blackcurrant, cooked plum, sour cherry, vanilla, and white pepper on the nose. The palate is full-bodied with real volume and a soft attack giving way to a generous mid-palate and a long, structured finish underpinned by firm young tannins. It’s drinking well now, but give it a few years in bottle and it’ll show you something else entirely.

Sealed with cork. Unfined, unfiltered. Built for the patient.

Meet the owners

Utzinger is a genuine love story. Swiss-trained winemaker Matthias Utzinger met Tasmanian-raised Lauren while travelling, and after a stint learning the ropes at Stefano Lubiana's Huon Valley vineyard, the couple planted their own five-hectare certified organic estate from scratch at Legana in 2018. Every vine, clone and row spacing was chosen deliberately, and the wines, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, Riesling and a fumé-style Sauvignon Blanc, are made with minimal intervention. Their "Roter Satz" field blend has already picked up back-to-back trophies at the Young Gun of Wine Awards.

Tamar Valley

About the region

The Tamar Valley is Tasmania's oldest wine region, stretching from Launceston to the Bass Strait in the state's north. Its cool maritime climate and iron-rich soils create ideal growing conditions, and the numbers speak for themselves, home to over 30 family-owned wineries, the Tamar Valley accounts for more than a third of Tasmania's total wine production. Viticulture here goes back a long way too, with the first commercial vineyard established in the mid-1800s at Windermere, its cuttings even helping establish some of South Australia's earliest vineyards. Today, the Tamar Valley is celebrated for its Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and sparkling wines, each one reflecting the region's exceptional terroir and winemaking heritage.
