Ashton Hills Pinot Noir Estate
Ashton Hills Pinot Noir Estate is bright deep garnet red in color. In the nose aromas of black cherries, strawberries, roasted meat, forest mushrooms and some spices. In the palate notes of ripe small red-black fruit, undergrowth, forest soil and cedar, accompanied by a velvety finish with ripe tannins and elegant acidity.
The bunches of grapes are picked by hand extremely selectively at optimum ripeness. In the vinification cellar, 70% of the grapes are very carefully destemmed and, together with the other entire bunches, undergo a short cold maceration to get more color and aroma extraction. This is followed by a spontaneous alcoholic fermentation with wild (grape own) yeasts in stainless steel tanks. Then pressing of the grape must and crossing the young wine on French oak barriques to undergo malolactic fermentation and mature. After 12 months, the wine is assembled and bottled.

Ashton Hills Vineyard
Ashton Hills Ashton Hills is a three-acre winery located in the Piccadilly Valley sub-region of the Adelaide Hills, Australia. The vineyards are located on a ridge just below the summit of Mount Lofty, the highest point of the Mount Lofty Ranges. The winery was founded by Stephen George in 1982 and has since built a reputation as one of Australia's finest producers of Pinot Noir and Cool Climate White wines. Stephen George planted his first vineyard at an altitude of 570 meters and with a south-facing view over Mt Lofty. It was the cool climate, one of the coolest in South Australia, that appealed to Stephen. He started planting grape varieties that match this like no other: Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
One clone is not the other. With his fondness for Burgundy, Stephen George understood that all too well. He soon specialized in clone development. Over the past thirty years, he has experimented extensively with no fewer than 25 different Pinot Noir clones. He eventually selected five, which he now uses in his acclaimed Reserve and Estate Pinot Noirs and his sparkling wines. Also, eight carefully cultivated rows of Riesling can be found in the Ashton Hills Vineyard, from which an exclusive and limited Ashton Hills Riesling is made each year.
