Some vineyards stop you in your tracks each time you step into them and our Bowhouse vineyard does exactly that. Sitting in the middle of the Piccadilly Valley and planted in the late 1980’s on a steep east facing slope, this vineyard is planted to four clones of Pinot Noir; MV6, 114, 115 and D4V2. Due to the slope and aspect of the Bowhouse site it is shielded from the warmer, more intense afternoon sun, which results in a longer, cooler and more even ripening period.

Bouquet
Bright lifted florals, red cherry and wild berries give way to exotic baking spices and a faint hint of fine French oak.

Palate
The fresh and vibrant palate is abundant with cherry and cranberry, underlying autumnal notes and finishes with a touch of anise. The textural palate is framed with fine gravelly tannins, morish acidity and a dusting of French oak which provides a beautifully silky finish.

Growing Conditions
The Piccadilly Valley was impacted by cool weather during flowering, resulting in reduced volumes for the 2024 vintage. A wetter than average December and January made way for a warm and dry February with excellent conditions for ripening. Consecutive hot days in the second week of March accelerated things and harvest was completed by March 12.The Piccadilly Valley was impacted by cool weather during flowering, resulting in reduced volumes for the 2024 vintage.

“A vineyard planted in the ‘80s and now a single-site wine for Ashton Hills, off their commanding estate. A chirpy, almost crisp pinot noir of red and black cherry, green olive, brine, wild raspberry undercurrents, touches of cardamom and a strong finish with aniseed and salted licorice. Fantastic in its layers of flavours and aromas, concentrated but tight, tense with fine, al dente tannins, great length and overall a compelling wine.”

"There’s lovely balance of freshness and earthy notes, with aromas of red cherries, cranberries, spices, citrus peel, slate, wet earth, porcini mushrooms and orange blossoms. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and bright acidity, showing generosity and power with a mineral edge. The finish is refined, soft and understated, with underlying strength and ageability. Drink or hold. Screw cap."
