Ashton Hills Piccadilly Valley Pinot Noir 2010

“Piccadilly Valley” is Ashton Hills’ entry level or “village” wine with all grapes coming from the Adelaide Hills’ coldest wine sub-region, the Piccadilly Valley. About half the wine comes from 16 of estate clones (selections) with the remaining grapes being purchased from two neighbouring growers. The three vineyards have amongst them the oldest pinot vines in The Valley and are all managed in such a way to ensure small crops with maximum flavour and concentration.

2010 was a good long season without any adverse weather. This is classy pinot. Winemaking included some whole bunch fermentation and this wine would benefit from some time in the cellar. Alternatively decant.
