Home Hill is one of your classic Australian vineyard retreats that functions as both a serious winery and a charming getaway with restaurant included. The focus here is primarily on Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sylvaner and Sparkling wine, but their track record really shines with Pinot. Over recent years they have clearly established themselves as one of Tasmania’s best and most consistent producers of the varietal, culminating in their 2014 Home Hill Reserve Pinot Noir taking out the Jimmy Watson Trophy.
Semi translucent dark red colour with black tinged edges and a bright light red hue. Violet laced scents of red to dark cherries along with traces of anise form a fragrant bouquet with lightly toasted cedar, forest floor and spicy game notes the back drop. Light in body the palate serves up a power wave of ripe cherry, wild strawberry and anise flavours which merge into subtlety toasted spicy cedar, forest floor, dried meat and fresh herb infusions. Elegant, supple mouthfeel with velvety tannins, vivid acidity and a long expansive aftertaste that leaves you craving another glass. Limited stocks.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 13.9%

Other Reviews.....
Southern Tasmania's Home Hill is one of the leaders in redefining the boundaries of world class pinot in Australia. The depth and richness of its spiced cherries, blood plums and finely ground tannins drive a finish that seems to have no end. Drink by 2033.
