Hillbilly Wines Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir 2023 - 6 Bottles

Product Description

Winery Background
Hillbilly Wines champions the purity and elegance of Adelaide Hills fruit, with a focus on cool-climate varieties that speak authentically of place. Pinot Noir is the region’s calling card, and Hillbilly’s approach highlights finesse, vibrancy, and the natural beauty of this classic variety.

Vineyards and Vintage Conditions
Fruit was sourced from premium vineyards across the Adelaide Hills, where cool nights and gentle ripening conditions are ideal for Pinot Noir. The 2023 vintage was steady and balanced, producing fruit with fine tannins, lifted aromatics, and excellent natural acidity.

Winemaking Process
Hand-picked grapes were partially whole-bunch fermented to add perfume and complexity. Gentle plunging and cool fermentations preserved delicate aromatics, while maturation in French oak barriques (a mix of new and seasoned) contributed structure and subtle spice.

Tasting Notes
Vibrant ruby red. Aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, and rose petals unfold with hints of forest floor and spice. The palate is silky and layered, showing juicy red fruits, fine tannins, and a long, elegant finish with subtle savoury undertones.

Food Pairing
A natural partner to duck breast, roast chicken, mushroom dishes, or soft cheeses. Its freshness also pairs beautifully with charcuterie and lighter pasta.

Story Behind the Wine
Pinot Noir is often described as the “heartbreak grape,” but in the right place it flourishes. Hillbilly Wines’ 2023 release captures the essence of the Adelaide Hills — expressive, pure, and finely structured — a wine that reflects patience, care, and a deep respect for site.
