Ashton Hill's Stephen George in one of Australia's most skilful and versatile winemakers. Making powerful reds at Wendouree, he also produces some beautifully elegant wines at Ashton Hills. Pinot Noir fruit for the Ashton Hills Vintage Rosé Sparkling is sourced from a single vineyard lying in the Piccadilly Valley - a particularly cool, wet and humid part of the Adelaide Hills. An area well-suited to producing crisp, finely flavoured sparkling wines.
The 2021 Ashton Hills Piccadilly Valley Vintage Rosé Sparkling delivers a mix of red apple, white nectarine and lifted floral aromas supported by notes of fresh baked shortbread. The vibrant palate begins with notes of strawberry and raspberry and is layered with hints of brioche, a result of the time spent on lees. A low dosage was used to keep the wine fine and focused.
