Hesketh Small Batch Pinot Blanc 2024

Pinot Blanc is a relative newcomer to our winemaking catalogue, and not surprising that it is growing in a cooler region such as the Adelaide Hills given its European origins in Alsace, northern Italy, Germany and Austria. As an aromatic white it kicks off with a very expressive nose of Beurre Bosc pear with a decent waft of baking spices – nutmeg and cinnamon – and a creamy custard note as well, akin to crumbly strudel topping. All very exciting to start with, as the palate then combines all those elements into a baked apple pie-like flavour bomb, a decent squeeze of lemon to offer a fresh flavour edge to the otherwise soft palate feel and mouth filling texture. Rich and satisfying.
