PINOT NOIR
A fresh, fruity Pinot Noir brimming with wild berries, blossom, roses, earth and mushroom.
Bright and juicy, with elegant velvet tannins and a long fruit-driven palate. Pure magic paired with pan-fried sardines and salads with fresh herbs, especially when served lightly chilled.
Reviews of the 2022 Pinot Noir:
Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, March 2023
"From a vineyard in Kangarilla about 390m above sea level, planted in 1999. Dark cherry, cardamom, dried roses, mint, an earthy/mushroom thing happening. It’s juicy and a little sappy, some ripe tomato and pomegranate, a slight chinotto bitterness through ripe cherry, light emery board tannin, and a firm finish of good length. Fruity and savoury, and good to drink. I like it."

"Hand-picked. De-stemmed to 100% whole berries for an open fermentation. Élévage in older French wood for 7 mths. Straight-shooting Hills pinot with telltale notes of sandalwood, dark cherry, bergamot, rhubarb and sarsaparilla. These can get too sweet at times but here, handled with aplomb. Mid-weighted, lithe and expansive. Far from cerebral, but quality drinking at a fair price."
