Shadowfax Straws Lane Pinot Noir 2021 750ml
This close planted vineyard is perched on the North Side of Mt Macedon with it almost kissing the clouds at 800m above sea level. The 36 year-old vines grow on a granite outcrop, near Hesket, producing grapes with great acid and fragrance. A truly unique site among those in the Macedon Ranges.
This elegant Macedon ranges Pinot Noir has violet and mixed forest berry notes, with fine spice aromas including dried sage and lemon grass. Hints of charcuterie set a brooding tone, whilst notes of graphite powder and raspy grape seed oil add complexity. The wine has intrigue and flair in the glass, if you can let it rest, telling a story whilst evolving through time.
Maraschino cherries and violet tones fill the palate. There are complexities galore, some cherry pith, mocha, Campari like, all sitting on a precise palate of lacey fine tannins with lovely acid core. The wines tight rope frame and finesse is a highlight. The palate is long and persistent with evolving complexities as time goes by. A fine example of cool climate, single vineyard, high altitude Macedon ranges Pinot Noir.
