- Description
The 2023 Piccadilly Valley Pinot Noir is a blend of fruit from a handful of grower vineyards around the Ashton Hills estate. The resulting wine benefits from varied fruit character and vineyard expression, while maintaining the fine tannin structure that is typical of the Ashton Hills style.
- Bouquet
Fragrant aromatics of red cherry, raspberry and Indian spice.
- Palate
Starting with blackberry and strawberry the juicy palate then gives way to a touch of spice and savoury undergrowth. The balanced acidity and powdery tannins provide a long and supple finish.
- Growing Conditions
For the second year in a row the Piccadilly Valley growing season resulted in reduced yields. The long, cool and wet winter pushed into December affecting flowering and a cooler than average start to the year meant the small bunches and berries needed well into March/April to reach maturity.
- Food Pairing
Crispy pork belly with Asian slaw.
