2015 Shadowfax Little Hampton Pinot Noir

Shadowfax continue to align themselves with the Macedon Ranges with this the first Single vineyard release from a small, one hectare vineyard that was planted in 1999. Additional vines have been planted and in years to come will provide additional grapes for either this Single Vineyard wine or play a part in the Macedon Ranges blend.
This is an impressive wine from the outset, the complexity on the nose is intense with floral cherry met by herbaceous stalky notes and flashes of sweeter oak spice. The palate is elegant, taut and tightly bound with a less is more texture that will slowly reveal it's treasures with time. The purity of fruit is excellent with a finely constructed lattice of tannin and understated savoury flare framing the finish.

Keep an eye on wines from this little patch of dirt in years to come.
