Description

Ashton Hills has been setting the standard for Adelaide Hills Pinot for decades, and the 2024 Piccadilly Valley shows exactly why.

It’s made from a handful of vineyards across the valley, including the Ashton Hills estate itself, and the season gave small crops of beautifully concentrated fruit. The result is a Pinot that feels instantly expressive and alive.

Think bright cherry, strawberry coulis and dark plum with a little cinnamon and nutmeg spice in the mix. The palate is supple and fine, balancing juicy red fruits with a touch of earth and forest floor, all wrapped in those silky, powdery tannins Ashton Hills does so well.

It’s got the charm to drink right now, but a few years in the cellar will bring out more savoury layers. Simply put, this is Adelaide Hills Pinot at its most classic and delicious.

"A highly perfumed, snappy, sappy, bright and red-fruited pinot noir of satiny texture and general sense of freshness and a kind of glassy transparency."
- Mike Bennie (Halliday Wine Companion)

A restrained wine with aromas of grilled lemons, flint, grapefruit, crushed stones and gun smoke. The palate is precise and pure, with a mid-weighted mouthfeel and fine acidity. There’s nice balance of fruit density and minerals, finishing with a saline edge and high tension. Delicious. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

A highly perfumed, snappy, sappy, bright and red-fruited pinot noir of satiny texture and general sense of freshness and a kind of glassy transparency. Bright, sweet-leaning red of cherry juice with pomegranate crunch shot through, some light kirsch notes, raspberry licorice and dashes of red capsicum, hazelnut and mushroom tea. Very fruit forward, tightened with tangy, orangey acidity, a faint sheath of tannin nicely there. A wine that suggests vigorous youth is its best friend, over general cellaring. Good.

    Great taste

The 2024 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.
