2024 Nicks Secret Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir

This delicious, vibrant Pinot Noir is produced from four different clones planted in vineyards located at Gumeracha, Forreston and Lobethal in the Adelaide Hills. 2024 was a cool but sunny vintage that produced low yields but high quality fruit. Brimming with savoury red fruits it sees no oak in order to preserve freshness and purity.

A light, supplely textured Pinot brimming with red fruits that makes for great everyday drinking.

Red to dark red in colour with black toned edges and a translucent red hue. Very fragrant out of the glass with violet, red to dark cherry and strawberry scents sailing through the nostrils. Some fresh herb, delicate forest floor and spicy rhubarb notes are also present. Delicious strawberry and cherry fruits drive the light, supplely textured palate with rhubarb, subtle anise, forest floor and spicy dried herb elements sitting underneath. Polished tannins with fresh acidity lending vibrancy to the juicy mid length finish.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
Alc. 13%

Other Reviews....
A fine Pinot Noir from the Adelaide Hills, the colour here is a bright crimson. The nose exhibits delightful notes of red fruits, chinotto, a hint of tomato bush and a lovely cherry cola character. This is sleek in every way with bright acidity and fine balance. An elegant, stylish Pinot with a lingering finish, this will provide pleasure for five to six years but is really drinking nicely at the moment. Drink 2024-2030.

The 2024 The **** Pinot Noir leads with an abundance of red berries and sumptuous spice: pink peppercorns, raspberry pip, anise and red apple. In the mouth, the wine is chalky, flavorsome and delicious. There's impressive concentration and density of flavor, but it's never at the expense of balance or elegance. This is so good! It's the best *** yet for ****. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2025-2034.
