Awards & Reviews:

95 Pointsย โ€œRob Diletti has proved himself one of the stateโ€™s finest winemakers over the years, and this is especially manifest in his approach with pinot noir. Shows elegance with slightly savoury truffly characters with a vibrant fruit purity. Typical aromas of strawberry and even a little cherry with a slightly savoury influence that threads through into the palate, rolls effortlessly over the palate with fine tannins and a nice integrated use of oak. Fleshy, textural, and retaining fine acidity. A testament to good viticulture and winemaking in a challenging year. Cellar: 8 Yearsโ€ย Wine Pilot, Ray Jordan

93 Pointsย โ€œThe original Pinot Noir from Castle Rock Estate, sleek lines and layers of interest are the order of the day. Itโ€™s a wine that gets in deep and refuses to let go โ€“ winning! The fruit for the 2024 Castle Rock Estate Pinot Noir was sourced from across the whole estate with the vine age ranging from 38 to 10 years old. Maturation was in a combination of new and seasoned French barriques and puncheons for ten months (26% new, 13% whole bunch inclusion). Dark cherries, blackberries and an unmissable waft of smokey delight set the scene. The fruit is plentiful and grips you with two hands, yet it is ably supported by tilled earth, black tea and dried herbs. The use of whole bunches is evident and adds savoury textural appeal. Smoked meats, five spice and black pepper are not far from the action and reach long. That medium-bodied frame elevates the pleasure factor and heightens its drinkability. Great stuff! Drink to five years+โ€ย QWine

โ€œBright light crimson in colour, vibrant bouquet of red berries, a hint of cherries & a splash of spice. Lovely, beautifully rounded, flavoursome palate with a tight grippy finish that lingers. A FABULOUS FOOD WINE!โ€™ย Winelines, Dan Traucki

โ€œStrongly varietal cherry/strawberry nose with hints of whole bunch complexity. A wine
with a silky texture and adequate fruit weight.โ€ย Winewise Magazine, Lester Jesberg

โ€œThereโ€™s something so unmistakably Pinot about the aromas of this wine and I like them! Ripe strawberry and dark cherry, underpinned by subtle savoury and herbal notes. Thereโ€™s a nice โ€˜yin/yangโ€™ thing happening between richness and brightness that gives it a nice aromatic lift too. This lovely, medium-bodied, elegant wine opens with vibrant black and red fruits that sit beautifully on the palate. Layers of dried herbs, a touch of black pepper, charry notes, and finely judged oak come together very nicely, leading to a long finish that leaves a lasting impression of finesse and complexity.โ€ย Words from a Wineglass, Tony Peters
