2024 The Lane Pinot Noir, Adelaide Hills

Thank you for the correction. Here is the updated description:

The Lane Pinot Noir from the Adelaide Hills is a bright and elegant expression of one of Australia’s premier cool-climate sites. Grown on high-elevation estate vineyards near Hahndorf, the fruit benefits from long, gentle ripening conditions that preserve freshness and build nuance.

Winemaker Sam Milne focuses on purity and balance. Fruit is handpicked and fermented with a portion of whole bunches to enhance lift and structure, followed by maturation in seasoned French oak that supports the wine’s finesse without overshadowing the delicate fruit profile.

It opens with aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal and a touch of spice. The palate is silky and vibrant, offering finely woven tannins, bright acidity and a savoury thread of forest floor and dried herbs. It’s a graceful and food-friendly Pinot with quiet depth and impressive length.

Enjoy it with duck breast, porcini risotto, grilled salmon or charred vegetables. Best enjoyed now or over the next five years.
