Shaw + Smith Pinot Noir 2025 13.9% 375ml 

Tasting Notes

Aroma
Bright and aromatic with notes of red fruit, mandarin peel and violet.

Palate
The palate shows depth and complexity, with layers of savoury spice, undergrowth and subtle amaro unfolding in the glass. Fine, integrated tannins give structure and length to remarkable depth and fruit intensity.

Region notes
It's high, it's cool, it's wet, and in the higher reaches of the Adelaide Hills, Pinot Noir performs exceptionally well. The majority of fruit for this wine was sourced from our Lenswood and Piccadilly vineyards, grown on loams over clay and quartz.

Cellaring potential
Now until 2032.

Vinification
After hand-picking, we sort the bunches, discarding anything that is below par, then destem about 80% of the grapes. Fermentation is done slowly and gently, keeping the delicacy and elegance of the fruit, but taking the time to extract all the flavour and tannin that we can.

Vintage notes
A long, even growing season encouraged well formed bunches and healthy fruit development. While conditions were warmer and drier than we've seen in recent years, overnight temperatures remained cool throughout ripening, resulting in flavourful bunches with high natural acidity. Fruit was hand-picked between 10 February and 1 March
