Description

This is Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir set to smashable mode. Tim Stock combined fruit from two distinct sites - Ironbank and high-altitude Ashton - to create a red that prioritises texture and immediate drinkability. It’s a "no-frills" expression, fermented with just a bit of foot-stomping and aged for ten months in seasoned hogsheads.

The wine leads with a savoury, earthy profile rather than simple fruit sweetness. The Ashton component lightens the frame, bringing a lifted rose-petal perfume that opens up as the wine warms, while the Ironbank fruit provides a darker, spicier core. It’s medium-bodied and rich, but a bright line of acidity keeps it fresh and energetic.

At its heart, this is a seriously lovable, "slurpable" Pinot. Honestly, it's one of the best buys for Pinot we've seen in the Hills for a while.

Customer Reviews

A blend of D4V2 from our leased site in Ironbank and 114 and 115 from high up at Ashton. A very small amount of whole bunch with fairly vigorous ferments to blow off the reduction characteristic of the vintage. Aged in used hogsheads for 10 months.

Medium density soft cherry red, the Ashton component significantly lightening the colour. Fairly savoury aromatic profile with moderate concentration of darker fruits and lots of earth and spice. As it warms more and more dark rose perfume comes up. The palate is fairly rich with a great all around texture and a well blended mix of darker and red fruit elements but the fresh acidity highlights the finer fruit and spice notes towards the finish. Tannins are present to support the richness. This will please nicely for the price!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
