Growing pinot noir in the Adelaide Hills didn't seem like such a good idea 15 years ago, yields were low and the Hills were yet to make a real name for themselves as one of Australia's prime pinot planting places (excuse the excessive alliteration). Then something changed, and this producer was right at the forefront when it did. Wines like this forged the reputation that the Adelaide Hills now has for red hot pinot noir. And this 2024 vintage is no exception. Expect juicy, ripe strawberries and cherries up front and plentiful. The palate is slippery and smooth with a wonderful tartness due to its natural line of acidity, providing great length. When you’re in the mood, whip up a pumpkin and feta salad and splosh a generous amount of this pinot in a glass. You’re in flavour town!
