The Truscott Block Pinot Noir is his own crack at it, drawing on some of the Adelaide Hills’ oldest Pinot vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet at around 550 metres in Piccadilly, the vineyard was first planted in 1980, with further plantings in the early ’90s. Its mostly east- to northeast-facing slopes have silty loam over deep clay, scattered with sandstone and quartz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatt retained 15% whole bunches and kept the fruit on skins for 28 days before basket pressing into French oak hogsheads, 25% new. The extended skin contact gives the generous fruit a firm, finely textured frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrawberry and raspberry lead into darker cherry, with floral notes, gentle spice and a little earthiness. Rated 94 points by both Halliday Wine Companion and The Wine Front, this brings together the appeal of bright, expressive fruit and the depth and structure of a mature Piccadilly site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It’s fine through the finish, well formed throughout, exuberant for the most part but neat and well structured too… This is a class act from start to finish.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Praeter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67946527916075,"sku":"2025 Praeter Truscott Block Pinot Noir","price":51.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2025PraeterTruscottBlockPinotNoir.png?v=1792725930","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2025-praeter-truscott-block-pinot-noir","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
