[SOLD-OUT] Ashton Hills Estate Pinot Noir 2015

JancisRobinson.com 18/20 points!

“Tremendous concentration and classic fragrant lift – this is a Burgundy-slayer! Has just enough earthy funk on the palate to give interest without compromising the fruit. Absolutely divine – has not just the nose and palate of great Pinot Noir, but the soul too.”

As winter comes to an end, we have reason to smile with the release of the 2015 Ashton Hills Estate Pinot Noir. We have long been out of stock, so will welcome its return. The 2015 growing season in the Adelaide Hills delivered excellent ripening conditions, with warm days resulting in great flavour development and cool nights ensuring good retention of acid. Starting in the first week of March, this was our earliest vintage on record and despite modest yields, the consistency in temperature and fruit ripening resulted in a vintage of outstanding quality.

This Estate Pinot Noir was matured predominantly in old French oak and of our five preferred Estate clones, the two Martini clones contributed to almost half of the blend with the remainder from D5Vl2, MV6 and 777. Winemaker Stephen George has said, “The consistency in temperature and fruit ripening has resulted in a vintage of outstanding quality”.
