Ashton Hills Estate Pinot Noir 2024
The Wine
96 Pts, Ryan Montgomery, jamessuckling.com 'This is an excellent wine with real clarity of fruit and precision, showing underlying power and generosity. Aromas of wild red berries, spices, earth, mushrooms, potpourri, citrus peel and river stones. The palate has ultra-refined tannins and a plush, rounded mouthfeel, bringing depth of flavor, focused acidity and a spice- and earth-driven finish. Excellent. Drink or hold. Screw cap.'
95 Pts, Mike Bennie, Halliday Wine Companion 'A succulent, oh-so-pure, fresh and revitalising pinot noir of compact texture, bright flavour, ebullient perfume, satisfying tannin and lip-smacking deliciousness. It nails the brief. Red cherry, a dusting of sweet spice, some alpine herbs, a touch of cedar and clove with light truffle and mushroom savouriness. A beautiful wine, with perfect pinosity. Fun and wonderful drinking ensues.'

About the Wine Maker 
Ashton Hills is a three-hectare vineyard that lies in the Piccadilly Valley sub-region of the Adelaide Hills, on a ridge just below the summit of Mount Lofty. The estate was founded by Stephen George in 1982, and since that time it has built a reputation as one of Australia’s finest proponents of Pinot Noir and cool climate whites.
