Tasting Note: This Pinot is a medium bodied, elegant example of what the cool climate of the Mount Gambier region can produce. The aroma has a dark cherry and raspberry lift with a touch of cedar. The palate is savoury and elegant, with subtle oak, fine tannin structure and hint of earthy spice on the finish. Winemaker’s Note: Grown in the limestone gravel soils of Mount Gambier, a region rich in volacnic history and home to the mysterious Blue Lake. Sourced from two blocks then cold soaked prior to fermentation. It spent 18 days on skins and then transferred to oak for 16 months, 10% new French. Vintage Note: 2022 was a strong vintage, with stable conditions and harvest starting a little later than recent years. This extended the growing season with a long and slow ripening period. The resultant wines are concentrated and intense with great fruit flavours and fine ripe tannins.

The Hesketh Unfinished Business Pinot Noir from the Limestone Coast Series of 2024 is a beautiful representation of the region's terroir. A deep ruby hue with hints of purple greets the eye, inviting you to explore its complex aromas. On the nose, notes of ripe black cherry, cranberry, and raspberry are complemented by delicate hints of vanilla and spice. On the palate, this wine delivers a delightful balance of fruit and earthiness. The juicy red fruit flavors are underscored by subtle hints of forest floor and a touch of oak. The tannins are soft and velvety, providing a smooth and lingering finish. Produced by Hesketh Wines, a distinguished winery based in South Australia, this Pinot Noir is a testament to their commitment to crafting exceptional wines. Enjoy it now or cellar it for a few years to see how it evolves. Either way, this wine is a true reflection of the Limestone Coast's potential.
