The 2025 Ashton Hills Reserve Pinot Noir is a premium Australian red wine from the Piccadilly Valley in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia. Produced by Ashton Hills, an estate renowned for its cool-climate Pinot Noir, this wine reflects the region's elevated vineyards and distinctive growing conditions. Its anticipated aromas reveal ripe red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry, complemented by delicate notes of rose petals, forest floor, dried herbs and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is expected to be medium-bodied with silky tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavours of juicy cherry, cranberry and red plum unfold alongside hints of earthy mushroom, gentle oak spice and savoury herbs. Its concentrated red-fruit character is balanced by refined structure and freshness, leading to a long, elegant finish with lingering berries and earthy complexity.
