2015 Shadowfax Little Hampton Pinot Gris
Shadowfax
The first release from Shadowfax's recently acquired Little Hampton Vineyard. At 700m above sea level, this is one of the highest and coolest vineyards in the Macedon Ranges. Good winter rains and an even flowering resulted in an excellent crop of Pinot Gris with fantastic flavours and stunning natural acidity.
All fruit was hand picked and whole bunch pressed. The juice was fermented in old hogsheads, at ambient temperatures utilising the naturally occurring yeasts. The wine remained in contact with lees for 22 weeks, then was racked and bottled on 23rd October 2015.
Pale straw in colour with a bright green edge. Pear skin, nougat, some guava and a hint of spicy spicy florals. Dense, concentrated Pinot Gris flavours follow on the palate. Fresh fruits - guava, pear and apple - are supported by a wonderful array of textural elements - lees derived complexity, slatey acidity and gentle extract. A wonderful expression, showcasing the great synergy between Little Hampton and Pinot Gris.
