2022 Ashton Hills Reserve Pinot Noir

The Reserve Pinot Noir is sourced purely from our five preferred clones on the estate. The fruit is de-stemmed via a small, customised, gentle de-stemmer that keeps as many whole berries as possible. Some whole bunches are included, the percentage varying according to the style of the vintage. After fermentation, the fruit is basket pressed direct to a combination of old and new French oak barriques. The wine is made without any additions until bottling. The lifted, concentrated nose is abundant with red cherry, plum and black fruits. A lick of Indian spice and fragrant floral notes are supported by the subtle French oak.
