Medium red/brick/purple colour with aromas of sweet cherries and earthy/sousbois overtones, not overtly stemmy but complex in a savoury, foresty sort of way, and quite irresistibly charming. Svelte texture, good deth and lasting flavour, just medum bodied, with a rewarding degree of complexity at this tender age. Delicious. 13 NOV 2022 Drink 2022–2032

Piccadilly Valley Pinot Noir is a blend of fruit from a few of the neighbours as well as a contribution from de-classified Ashton Hills Reserve/ Estate parcels. Stephen George has taken great interest in applying his winemaking approach to parcels from elsewhere within the Piccadilly Valley and seeing how the wines compare with those from the Ashton Hills vineyard. The resulting blend benefits from varied fruit character and vineyard expression, while maintaining the fine tannin structure that is typical of the Ashton Hills style.
Lifted fresh red and black fruits, layered with autumnal notes and spice from some whole bunch fermentation. Juicy and red fruited, with a plush and supple palate. There is a hint of spice and fresh herbs from the whole bunch component and the mouthwatering natural acidity and fine tannins result in a textural and long lasting finish.
