Home Hill 2024 Estate Pinot Noir
Home Hill Estate is at Ranelagh in tas's Huon Valley. Since the remarkable 2005 Home Hill Pinot Noir, which won the (then) Tri Nations Trophy, Home Hill in tas's Huon Valley has produced a superb pinot noir vintage after vintage. Owner Terry Bennett and son Sean's meticulous viticulture of 30+ year old vines is a significant part of the magnificent Home Hill Pinot style.
Our notes: This is a beguiling and dreamy wine. Translucent, deep ruby/magenta with a harmonious bouquet of dark, jubey fruit, subtle florals, spicy rolling tobacco and wet stone. The nose certainly promises a lot and the palate delivers in spades.
Smooth, soft, full and ripe - red and dark cherries mingle with chalky, ultra-fine tannins with enough judicious acidity to keep everything fresh. There is already so much pinot silk here and old vine depth. This magnificent Pinot is about degrees of subtlety and gentle power.
