The Ashton Hills Piccadilly Valley Pinot Noir 2023 is crafted from a blend of fruit sourced from several grower vineyards around the Ashton Hills estate. This approach imparts a diverse fruit character and vineyard expression while preserving the fine tannin structure typical of the Ashton Hills style.

Bouquet: The wine opens with fragrant aromatics of red cherry, raspberry, and Indian spice.

Palate: It begins with juicy notes of blackberry and strawberry, which transition to subtle hints of spice and savory undergrowth. Balanced acidity and powdery tannins contribute to a long and supple finish.

Growing Conditions: The 2023 growing season saw reduced yields due to a long, cool, and wet winter extending into December, which affected flowering. A cooler start to the year meant that the small bunches and berries required extended ripening into March and April to achieve full maturity.
