Description

The Shaw + Smith Pinot Noir is one of the most exemplary versions of this wonderful variety from the Adelaide Hills.

Winemaker Adam Wadewitz has put together an excellent release from the fruit predominantly from the Shaw + Smith Lenswood vineyard. It's deceptively powerful, boasting delicious dark cherry flavours and fine, silky tannins.

This wine will capture the imagination of most Pinot Noir lovers.

"Bright yet subdued, still youthful nose. Red fruits sous bois and bakery spice nuances, lively pallet, fresh and edgy with elegant concentration and sweet persistence."

    Elegant pinot

    Very good wine, medium bodied, fragrant, delicious!

Pinot Noir is the most temperamental of varieties and remains a challenge for site, season and winemaking - Shaw + Smith has joined the quest albeit in a ‘small batch’ way. First produced experimentally in 2004 and commercially in 2007. Site selection, the right clonal mix, minuscule yields and fastidious vineyard management are essential to success.
