Ashton Hills Pinot Noir 2016

Piccadilly Valley, Adelaide Hills, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide, South Australia, AustraliaAshton Hills is considered amongst the top pinot producers in Adelaide Hills, opening in the early 1980s not long after Brian Croser established the modern era of grape growing in the cool climate region. The Piccadilly Valley pinot is their entry level bottling containing fruit grown close to the winery and anything declassified from the estate and reserve bottlings, but don’t let that disappoint you. This is a delicious drinking, red-fruited red with a full, sweet pinot character, and an edgy, savoury, earthy underbelly. The textures are soft and spicy and it is very food friendly. Think grilled salmon and vegetables.Tasted: 11 June 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
