Shadowfax Macedon Pinot Noir 2023 750ml

Elegant Macedon Pinot Noir with cherry, spice, silky tannins and cool climate lift. About The Wine  Shadowfax Macedon Pinot Noir 2023 is a beautifully poised Victorian Pinot Noir from the cool Macedon Ranges, offering bright red fruit, fine tannins and graceful savoury complexity. This is a refined, aromatic style of Pinot with freshness, depth and that unmistakable cool climate elegance. Expect cherry, raspberry, spice and subtle earthy notes, balanced by silky texture and a long, polished finish. A lovely choice for those who enjoy Pinot Noir with finesse rather than weight. Halliday Wine Companion - 91 Points  Cool aromatics, all peppery with wintergreen, and a little meaty reduction, too. The palate matches with cranberry juice and red and sour cherries; it's more about pronounced acidity than tannins, so it’s somewhat tight and lean, yet it has a certain appeal and freshness. Unlikely this will flesh out with time so best to serve with rich food. Jane Faulkner. Tasting Notes Aroma: Red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, violet, spice and gentle earthy notes. Palate: Elegant and medium bodied, with bright red fruit, fine tannins, fresh acidity and subtle savoury complexity.
