Description
Scary Gully is one of the most dramatic vineyards in the Adelaide Hills - perched high at 620 metres on steep sandstone and quartz slopes that test even the toughest growers. Planted back in 1984, it’s one of the oldest Pinot sites in the region, and every year it delivers wines that feel alive with altitude.
The 2024 vintage was mild and dry, with tiny yields and pristine fruit. The result is a beautifully composed Pinot Noir that captures everything special about this site: lifted perfume, fine structure and a long, mineral finish. There’s a core of red and dark cherry, a touch of spice, and the unmistakable forest-floor character that always marks Scary Gully.
Fermented with 20% whole clusters and aged for ten months in French oak (20% new), it’s a wine that sits right in the sweet spot between power and precision.
This is one of Gareth Belton’s most complete Scary Gully Pinots yet - bright, layered, and brimming with energy.

"There’s a lovely dark-fruited profile, with aromas of black cherries, blackberry bush, blood oranges and graphite. The palate has fine tannins and a plush mouthfeel, with a long, stony, mouthwatering finish. 25% whole-bunch fermentation, made from vines planted in the 1980s. Drink or hold."
- Ryan Montgomery (James Suckling)
