- TASTING NOTE: "Juicy pinot with aromas of raspberries, red cherries, pomegranates and orange rind. Crisp and medium-bodied with soft tannins and pleasant, earthy notes on the finish." 90 POINTS - JAMES SUCKLING
- ABOUT THE WINE: A blend of fruit from a handful of grower vineyards around the Ashton Hills estate. The resulting wine benefits from varied fruit character and vineyard expression, while maintaining the fine tannin structure that is typical of the Ashton Hills style. Grapes were handpicked, keeping individual clones and vineyards separate in small open fermenters with 30% whole bunches. Fermentation is natural and each parcel was basket pressed directly to seasoned French oak barriques and puncheons with full solids. All barrels were kept on lees to build palate weight, body, texture and complexity. They were racked and blended just prior to bottling.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Ashton Hills is a three hectare, dry-grown vineyard that lies in the Piccadilly Valley sub region of the Adelaide Hills on a ridge just below the summit of Mount Lofty. The estate was founded by Stephen George in 1982 and since that time it has built a reputation as one of Australia’s finest proponents of Pinot Noir and cool climate whites.
