Home Hill Pinot Noir
- Winery: Home Hill
- Style: Pinot Noir
Ranelagh Huon Valley Tasmania -
The rise and rise of Home Hill Pinot Noir has been impressive to watch. Assiduous attention to cropping levels and skilled winemaking to match have created wines that are as close to the much admired Central Otago style as Tasmania can manage.
Since the remarkable 2005 Home Hill Pinot Noir,
which won the Tri Nations Trophy (knocking the Kiwis off their perch for
the first time), Home Hill in Tasmania's Huon Valley has produced a
stand-out pinot in each vintage.
Home Hill Pinots are full-bodied wines, chock full of intense dark fruits. New vintage 2010 has a bit more verve and energy overlaying the fruit richness. Floral notes are evident on the nose and the fruit has some pleasing, juicy briary qualities. The are dark fruits aplenty but there's a bit more zip with food-friendly firm but fine tannins.
The texture is excellent, a notable feature of these very southern grown pinots.
There is no doubt that this wine will achieve similar glories to previous vintages, having already picked up two major GOLD MEDALS -
- ROYAL MELBOURNE SHOW 2011 Gold Medal
- NATIONAL COOL CLIMATE WINE SHOW 2011 Gold Medal

Pinot Shop is located in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia at 135 Paterson Street down at the river end near Cataract Gorge, Stillwater Restaurant and The Mill Providore. We specialise in the best of premium pinot noir as grown so beautifully in the cool climes of Tasmania, New Zealand and southern parts of the big Australian continent. Our love for pinot extends to its sibling styles pinot gris and grigio and fizzy cousins sparkling wine and Champagne, even when they don’t contain pinot noir.
That’s not to say we’ve become too exclusive - we also stock an interesting range of delicious wines for those (rare) times when you’re not drinking pinot…
