The Bell Hill Pinot Noir is a blend of the Shelf parcels, the Shelf West, Quarry Rootlings and 10/5, the Roadblock and Slope. Most of the fruit was destemmed giving lots of whole berries and a small number of whole clusters were used in the Quarry 10/5 and Shelf 1998 ferments. The ferments had 26 to 30 days on skins with cold pre-ferment and warm post-ferment macerations. After basket pressing, the wine went into 100% new French oak, it was racked and blended after 12 months and had 8 months in tank before bottling on the 9th of December 2019 with a pH of 3.66, TA of 5.4 g/l and an alcohol of 13.5%. 4,911 bottles were produced.

James Suckling: ““Bell Hill Pinot Noir 2018 This has fantastic complexity and depth with aromas of cracked pepper, black raspberries, salted plums, cherries, ash, thyme and porcini, and some initial reductive smoky notes. More crushed stone and ash minerality on the palate. Creamy, velvety tannins that are melted into the wine. Medium – to full-bodied. Wonderful texture. There’s a subtle power and intensity here that remains for minutes. Drink or hold.” 98 Points
