Description

Ashton Hills has the oldest pinot vineyard in the Adelaide Hills. Stephen George wears 3 winemakers’ hats, one for his Ashton Hills wines coming from his estate vineyard high in the Adelaide Hills, one for Galah Wines and the other for the iconic Wendouree in Clare. He refers to his dry grown Piccadilly Valley vineyard planted back in 1982 as the “Burgundy of the Adelaide Hills”. Much experimentation with pinot noir clones (15 clones planted) and trellising has resulted in sublime pinot noir. Ashton Hills has received many awards including the coveted 5 Red star rating from James Halliday.

The 2013 vintage benefited from cool conditions, allowing for slow ripening and the development of fine tannins, natural acidity and layered flavour. Ashton Hill's approach focuses on vineyard expression, with gentle winemaking and restrained oak to ensure balance and longevity. With time in bottle, this wine has evolved gracefully, moving beyond primary fruit into savoury and earthy complexity while retaining freshness and line.

This is a classic example of mature Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir, reflecting both site and season. The 2013 Estate Pinot Noir offers a composed, textural drinking experience that highlights Ashton Hills' long-standing reputation for producing age-worthy Pinot Noir of finesse and detail.

Tasting Notes

Vintage: 2013

Tyson Stelzer 95 points!
"An effortless pinot noir, capturing the fruit intensity and complexity of a warm and very dry season, while presenting it with grace and poise, framed in a silky and refined structure. It's spicy and intense on the bouquet, with mixed spice, berry compote, sarsaparilla, anise and beetroot. The palate has excellent poise of rose hip and violet perfume over a core of dark berry fruit and savoury beetroot persistence, laced seamlessly together with finely structured tannins of silky texture and great persistence."

Customer photo review of Zalto Universal Glass Twin Pack

These glasses bring a lightweight, sophisticated touch to any dining experience. We received them as a gift and have been absolutely delighted—so much so that we wouldn’t choose anything else now. They’ve truly elevated our table setting.

Customer photo review of Vignoble Boudon 'Les Vielles Garennes' Bordeaux 2018

We absolutely love this wine! After one run through the decanter, it becomes a beautifully smooth red. We also purchased the decanter from The Wine Traveller and couldn’t be happier. Quick dispatch and delivery. The organic reds taste incredibly fresh and clean—no chemical aftertaste at all and no hangover. We're hooked. Thanks, Greg!

Vignoble Boudon 'Les Vielles Garennes' Bordeaux 2018

I'm very impressed with the ease of ordering and speedy delivery with my first order. Oh yeah....and the wine is delicious!

Annais Organic Chardonnay

I was at first hesitant about a sparkling wine in a screw cap bottle but was very pleasantly surprised by both the quality of the wine and the cap. The screw cap does a better job of keeping the bubbles fresh than any champagne stopper I have ever used. This wine is our favourite drop for those everyday bubbles where you don't want to open an expensive French champagne like Verve or Taittinger (she who must be obeyed favourites).

Tamburlaine High & Dry Premium Cuvée

My wife loves her French bubbles and rates this one favourably alongside her French favourites but with a considerably more affordable price tag!

Tamburlaine High & Dry Premium Cuvée

I’ve had to give up my French champagne for health reasons and so I’ve tested many sparkling ‘wines’. I first sampled this at the famous Lakehouse Daylesford and have never looked back. It looks like champagne and is the closest thing you’ll get without the alcohol and the French touch. Give it a go!

Kolonne Null Cuvée Blanc No.1 Zero Alcohol Sparkling 375mL

My daughter loves this sparkling & I previously had trouble finding where I could buy it from. So pleased you stock it.

Kolonne Null Rosé Sparkling Wine 750ml

The wine is Magnificant. Subtle, flavoursome and very drinkable. My favourite red wine ever.

Chevalier De Bayard Aude IGP

It made me sad when my doctor said to give up alcohol. I love my bubbles. At a lunch at the Lakehouse I saw this non- alcoholic sparkling and gave it a go. Game changer. Looked the same and was very well received by my palate! The best part no adverse reactions and no hangover. So…..I had to buy some for those special celebrations when I didn’t want to feel left out. A little on the expensive side but worth it.

Kolonne Null Cuvée Blanc No.1 Zero Alcohol Sparkling 375mL

We are normally Shiraz drinkers, but I would describe this Grenache as a warmer-climate Pinot Noir with more body, making it incredibly approachable, food-friendly, and a fantastic alternative to heavier reds. It is a highly aromatic, medium-bodied red wine with flavours reminiscent of red cherry, raspberry, and strawberry. Very nice indeed.

Tscharke A Thing of Beauty Grenache

The best prosecco (in our opinion) and one we have bought lots of times.

See Saw Balance Prosecco

From the first time you had suggested this we have loved it.

We were amazed how quickly you managed to package our order and get it Aus Post. Unfortunately, Aus Post are a business that do not care about quality and it took 2 weeks to get it to us. This is not out of the ordinary and I feel Aus Post are hurting businesses and this might impact on whether we decide to purchase from you guys again. However, you guys were great!

Nomads Gardens Pinot Blanc

I tasted this wine at Marmelo restaurant in Melbourne. I loved it. I have been systematically tasting zero alcohol sparkling wines for some months and this was the best one I had ever tasted. I ordered 6 bottles, and everyone I share it with is VERY impressed.

Kolonne Null Cuvée Blanc No.1 Zero Alcohol Sparkling 375mL

My son bought this prosecco at the Sutherland Saturday markets, and we all agree it's the best prosecco we've had. I re-ordered directly through The Wine Traveller as they weren't there a couple of weeks ago, and delivery was super-fast plus 10% off my first order! Very happy, and will be purchasing again once we get through the latest box.

Delivery speed can improve further but the wines are lovely. Also will be good if photo as well as description refers to correct year of production

Brockenchack Jack Harrison Shiraz

We love this wine especially with some age on it. Deep rich palate that is beautifully smooth after breathing a few hours.
