Shaw and Smith Pinot Noir 2008
	Pinot Noir is the most temperamental of wine grape varieties and remains the ultimate challenge for many makers. Shaw + Smith has accepted this challenge, albeit in a highly exacting, small batch way. Site selection, the right clonal mix, miniscule yields and fastidious vineyard management are essential to success. A single vineyard wine from vines planted at a density of 2780 per hectare, to a select mixture of the highly regarded 777 clone from Burgundy and the MV6, the backbone to many of Australia’s finest Pinot Noir wines Adelaide Hills
	Each $42.99 Dozen $515.88	Shaw and Smith is an alliance between cousins Martin Shaw and Michael Hill- Smith, heirs to one of Australia's great winemaking legacies. The estate vineyard is located on the Shaw + Smith property at Balhannah, the soil structure being brown loam over red clay and schist. Hand pruned, with vertical shoot positioned canopies, the yields are miniscule, just 1.5 tonnes per hectare. The hand harvested grapes are de-stemmed and lightly crushed into two tonne open fermenters. A cold maceration of four to five days precedes vinification and hand plunging six to eight times per day. The malolactic fermentation and maturation ensues in a combination of new and older French oak barriques. Alcohol 13.0%
	Bright, deep scarlet in colour. A modern Pinot with characteristic red fruit aromas in the strawberry/ raspberry/ cherry spectrum. Palate is mid weight, yet suprisingly supple and rich. Fruit focused at this stage and will continue to develop additional layers of expression. "Ripe berry fruit up front with loads of rhubarb and raspberry, cherry and bramble, licorice and dust in a caisson of limousine oak over suede textured tannins!" -Ozwinenews.com, "Luscious bouquets of currant/ strawberry and vanilla/ pencil precede a palate of limber fruits, raspberry, liquorice and goodly sour morello. Recognizably Adelaide Hills for its idyllic cool climate character, so much fruit on the tongue, you're tempted to chew!" -Pinotfiles.com

Shaw and Smith Shiraz 2008

[ More info ]

Shiraz grapes in the Adelaide Hills ripen slowly and evenly resulting in spicey, intense expressions in the fruit. Shaw + Smith is a proven star performer, sourced from the carefully managed warmer sub-area of Macclesfield which provides structure and richness, and Balhannah which is yielding truly exciting new wave Shiraz with loads of clean pepper, spiceyness, concentration and palate weight to match. A brilliantly structured wine with great concentration of fruit flavours, a modern Australian Shiraz with less reliance on oak, vibrant and bright
