The 2023 Piccadilly Valley Pinot Noir is 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.

Now available in a limited edition, 1.5L Magnum format. 

Bouquet
Fragrant aromatics of red cherry, raspberry and Indian spice

Palate
Starting with blackberry and strawberry the juicy palate then gives way to a touch of spice and savoury undergrowth. The balanced acidity and powdery tannins provide a long and supple finish

Growing Conditions
For the second year in a row the Piccadilly Valley growing season resulted in reduced yields. The long, cool and wet winter pushed into December affecting flowering and a cooler than average start to the year meant the small bunches and berries needed well
into March/April to reach maturity.

“There’s an inherent vibrancy and energy to this wine, with bright fruit, lithe spice elements, toasty notes gently sewn through and a core of crushed rock minerality that weaves evenly and with interest through it all. Succulent texture, a gentle nature despite the vitality, transparency and purity as bylines. Delicious drinking ensues, and for those seeking understated and elegant rendering of the variety, look no further. Should mature gracefully in the medium term too."

“Fluid movement. This is so spicy it’s almost peppery, though it also leans on the sappy side of that equation. But it’s the juicy, energetic flow of the fruit that really draws you in. Cherry-cranberry-strawberry characters wash attractively throughout, ushering those abundant spice notes. Tannin clumps slightly perhaps though it’s quickly moved along by the juiciness of the fruit. This is a lovely drink.”
