Kate Hill Pinot Noir 2023
Summary
Sourced from the Coal River and Huon Valleys in southern Tasmania, Kate Hill’s 2023 Pinot Noir benefits from a cool ripening season and low yields that delivered excellent colour, intensity and length. Aged 12 months in French oak, it is fresh, fruity and approachable yet structured enough for short-term cellaring. Elegant cool-climate Pinot that shines with duck, salmon, mushroom dishes or soft cheeses.
