We’re absolutely thrilled to share that our 2024 Francis John Pinot has been recognised as one of the top wines in the Young Gun of Wine Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir Deep Dive.

The Deep Dive is more than just a roundup of great bottles—it’s a detailed, thoughtful exploration into the world of Pinot Noir in our region. From the complexities of growing Pinot in the cool-climate Adelaide Hills, to the ever-evolving techniques in the winery, it’s a fascinating look at what makes this grape so expressive and site-driven here in the Hills.

To have our Francis John Pinot featured among such standout wines is a huge honour. This wine is especially close to our hearts—crafted with care, named in memory of a beloved family member, and a true expression of our Lenswood vineyard.

If you love Pinot (and we think you do), we highly recommend pouring yourself a glass, finding a sunny spot or a comfy chair by the fire, and settling in for a read. The piece offers incredible insight into the nuances of Pinot in the Hills—and maybe a few clues about what makes our 2024 Francis John so special.
