2024 Home Hill Estate Landslide Pinot Noir

Wonderfully fragrant with a superb power wave of flavour and a long expansive finish.

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.
The Landslide Pinot Noir is sourced from newer plantings and is fermented and raised in mostly old French barriques for 9 months. Dark red core with black toned edges and a bright purple red hue. Wonderfully fragrant, the nose offers up intense aromatics of violet, dark cherry, strawberry and anise followed by some fresh herb, forest floor and delicate spicy cedar notes. Flooding the mouth with a superb power wave of flavour are rich dark cherry, red plum and strawberry fruits. Notions of anise, spicy cedar, forest floor and dried herbs the undercard. Supple textural feel with velvety yet structural tannins and a long expansive finish that shows plenty of spice.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
