2025 ‘Truscott Block’ Pinot Noir
The Truscott Block is situated at 550m above sea level in the Piccadilly sub-region of the Adelaide Hills. The block is located on an undulating slope that is generally E-NE in aspect and consists of silty loam over deep clays, with sandstone and quartz peppered throughout.
The first section of Pinot Noir was planted in 1987, making them some of the oldest Pinot Noir vines in the region, with the rest being planted out in the early 1990s.
The fruit was mostly destemmed, leaving 15% whole bunches, and left on skins for 28 days before being basket pressed and racked to French oak hogsheads (25% new) for maturation. The resulting wine has depth and spice, and a lovely interplay of structural tannin and high-tone florals which lead the palate both high and long.
