Shaw + Smith
Pinot Noir
Older vines, the Lenswood Vineyard, sorting tables, small batch open fermenters, or just more insight in the capricious nature of Pinot Noir. Whatever the reason, we think our Shaw + Smith Pinot Noir continues to get better and better. Our first release was in 2007.
Wine Production
Hand picked and sorted. Combination of whole berry and whole bunch fermentation. Fifteen days on skins. Matured in French oak, majority puncheons.
Tasting Notes
Style: Delicate, fragrant, light to medium bodied but with deceptive power, silky tannins and medium term ageing potential.
The 2018 vintage has a concentrated core of red berry fruits including raspberries and cherries. It is vibrant and more opulent than other years.
Food Pairing
Enjoy in a large red wine glass, with some charcuterie.
