Ashton Hills Piccadilly Valley Pinot Noir 2024 (1x75cl)

Estate
Ashton Hills, Adelaide Hills, founded 1982 — one of Australia's most experienced Pinot Noir specialists. James Halliday Five Red Star (top 2%).

Region
Piccadilly Valley, the highest and coolest sub-district of the Adelaide Hills.

Variety & Style
This range drinks earlier than the Estate wine, with more forward fruit and softer tannin. It is the everyday Pinot, not built for cellaring.

What to Expect
The most sensible entry point to Pinot Noir in this collection — $335 (about $268 after discount) buys you the work of an estate that has specialised in the variety for forty years. Move up to the Estate wine if you want depth.

Serving
14–16°C, lightly chilled if you prefer. Roast chicken, salmon, mushroom pasta. Best within three years.
