"When it comes to Adelaide Hills red wines, the credits roll to the top with Pinot Noir the star attraction."

We're humbled to be recognised by wine writer Tony Love, who reflects on the pioneering role Ashton Hills has played in shaping the reputation of Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir.

With a legacy built on site, clone selection and a relentless pursuit of quality, Ashton Hills continues to produce some of Australia's most celebrated Pinot Noir.

Pinot Noir is particularly suited to the Adelaide Hills’ altitude and cooler growing season temperatures

Our 2025 Ashton Hills Gamay has been recognised in the Young Gun of Wine Gamay Deep Dive, earning a place in the Top Wines and appearing in the top selections of panellists Indra Nadeson and Callie Jemmeson.⁠
⁠
Nadeson noted the wine’s layered aromatics and structural depth, “...aromas of basil and sweet liquorice – a hint of a deliciously complex wine to come." while Jemmeson highlighted its bright fruit profile, “Juicy and slurpy with fresh cherry and cranberry, layered with lavender, potpourri and a delicate amaro spice. Light on its feet but still interesting, with that slightly savoury edge keeping it balanced. Chill it down and take it to a barbecue or picnic – this is where it shines.”⁠
⁠
Winemaker Liam Van Pelt shared why the region is embracing the variety:⁠
“When you look at the Adelaide Hills, in terms of varieties that we think are suitable, gamay was increasing in popularity. It really suits the climate and the region well… depending on how you make it, it can offer a very similar drinking style to pinot – bright, fruity, fresh and vibrant.”⁠
