Ingram Road Pinot Noir 2018
$22.00 – $50.00
Sometimes making a good wine is more about making the right decisions rather than vintage conditions and/or winemaker skills. 2018 delivered good quality fruit with big bunch weights layered with raspberry, spice and herb elements. Because of the big bunch weights the brains trust at Helen’s Hill decided to put half of the fruit that was destined for go into their $45 Pinot into their $22 Ingram Road Pinot, so when you try this you start to thinking that it’s incredibly good value, there is a very good reason. Also yum yum.
$22 or 3 for $50

The Yarra Valley was Victoria’s first wine growing district with a history stretching back 170 years.
The Yarra Valley is now recognised as one of Australia’s foremost cool climate regions, capable of making classic styles from a wide range of varieties. It is known as the birthplace of Victoria’s wine industry.
The regional emphasis on the quality and flavour of wine has spread to the local produce grown in the same fertile soil and expertly tended. Expect fine contemporary fare and ambient dining in some of the most picturesque settings in Victoria. (Wine Australia)
Pinot Noir is very successful in many regions in the state of Victoria and produces a wide range of styles. Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, Geelong, Gippsland and Macedon Ranges all produce very high quality examples. Being surrounded by the cooling effect of the Southern Ocean, Tasmania does particularly well with this variety. The complex and varied region of Adelaide Hills is also home to very fine examples.
Pinot Noir also figures prominently in the production of Traditional Method sparkling wines in Australia with fruit from Tasmania and Yarra Valley being in high demand for its balance of delicate flavors and high acidity.(Wine Australia)
