2024 Ashton Hills Piccadilly Valley Pinot Noir
Ashton Hills has been setting the standard for Adelaide Hills Pinot for decades, and the 2024 Piccadilly Valley shows exactly why.
It’s made from a handful of vineyards across the valley, including the Ashton Hills estate itself, and the season gave small crops of beautifully concentrated fruit. The result is a Pinot that feels instantly expressive and alive.
Think bright cherry, strawberry coulis and dark plum with a little cinnamon and nutmeg spice in the mix. The palate is supple and fine, balancing juicy red fruits with a touch of earth and forest floor, all wrapped in those silky, powdery tannins Ashton Hills does so well.
It’s got the charm to drink right now, but a few years in the cellar will bring out more savoury layers. Simply put, this is Adelaide Hills Pinot at its most classic and delicious.
"A highly perfumed, snappy, sappy, bright and red-fruited pinot noir of satiny texture and general sense of freshness and a kind of glassy transparency."
