From the winery: “At Helen’s Hill Estate, Pinot Noir is by far our biggest grown variety. We have over 50 acres of the stuff! We have been growing it for many years, supplying well known Pinot Noir labels such as Coldstream Hills and producing our own Helen’s Hill label. Experience counts when it comes to Pinot Noir and at Helen’s Hill Estate we have certainly had a lot of experiences, not all of them good, but all allowing us to learn what has to be done to make great Pinot.
About this wine: “Sourced exclusively from our single vineyard in Coldstream, the fruit for the 2024 Pinot Noir was harvested at peak balance between ripeness and acidity to capture purity and freshness. Small-batch fermented and matured for eleven months in seasoned French oak barrels, the focus was on preserving bright fruit and fine structure rather than power. The result is a refined, cool-climate Pinot Noir that’s vibrant, textural, and irresistibly drinkable.
“Vibrant ruby red in colour, this Pinot Noir opens with aromas of red cherry, strawberry, and raspberry, lifted by subtle spice and a touch of earth. The palate is light to medium-bodied yet full of energy — fresh red fruits supported by fine tannins and a soft, silky texture. Eleven months in seasoned French oak adds quiet complexity without overpowering the fruit. The finish is clean, graceful, and mouth-watering — a true food-lover’s Pinot.”
New Vintage just arrived … review for 2023 – 91 Points, Philip Rich, James Halliday Wine Companion “Destemmed and aged in seasoned barriques. A light crimson-ruby red. Quite reductive when first poured and needs a few good swirls, or a decant, even. Underneath there’s an attractive array of red fruits, spice and floral notes. Shines on the palate with its good depth of fruit and supple, balanced tannins. Good value, too.“
