2016 Shadowfax Macedon Pinot Noir
Shadowfax
Fruit from the Midhill, Macedon and Big Shed vineyards. A deliberate winding back on the whole bunch from 2015 – this is about 20%. Fairly deep garnet in colour and ripe fruited on the nose – macerated cherry, raspberry almost into blackberry territory, with cherry blossom floral notes, earthy spices and biscuity oak. The fruit is plush and dense on the palate, with notably high levels of fresh grape tannins adding substance and, with the juicy acidity, keeping its shape and presence through the fresh, cocoa-dusted finish. – Ed Merrison, CellarHand

It’s taken time, as all good things do, but Shadowfax pinot noir is in a very good place now. If I was served this at any restaurant or bar at any time I’d be happy. It’s not a spectacular wine but it’s pinot noir to its core. Mulch, forest berries, peppercorns, sweet spices. Summer and autumn in one, though with a leaning towards the latter. Cool acidity, like an evening rolling in. A silken quality to the mid-palate but a grainy, tea-leaf quality to the tannin. More please.
