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.
Winemaker notes: “Following traditional winemaking processes, utilizing full French oak maturation our Ingram Pinot Noir displays rich varietal characters on the nose, sweet cherry and strawberry flavours on the front and mid palate with a savoury, earthy (spicy) finish on the back palate. Thanks to the French oak, the wine has a wonderful full textural mouth weight and long lasting finish. This is Single Vineyard Yarra Valley Pinot Noir at unbeatable value.
The best Pinot Noir under $20.00? We would like to think so!”
94 Points James Halliday Wine Companion 2019 “Selectiv’-harvested, a mix of new and old clones destemmed and co-fermented, 10 days on skins, then pressed to French barriques (10% new) for mlf and 11 months maturation. Bright, clear crimson-purple-hue; Helen’s Hill nailed this wine in a hectic vintage, the fragrant, high-toned flavours of red cherries and berries make oak a vehicle, not an end in itself.”
