- TASTING NOTE: The 2024 growing season has produced a wine of greater depth and concentration than the elegant 2023 version. There's plenty of sweet, spicy fruit and the mouthfeel is very fine with long, silk tannins and bright acidity. Another great release from Lonely Shore.
- ABOUT THE WINE: Fruit is handpicked, cold soaked and fermented in two parcels. When stems are ripe a whole bunch component is fermented separately which contributes 10%-20% to the final blend. It is then basket pressed and gravity movement is used as much as possible. It spends 8 months in oak (10% new) and bottled unfined and unfiltered.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Lonely Shore is a side project for husband and wife Liam and Holii Carmody. Liam has worked in the industry for over 15 years, starting in the South West, and then travelling regularly for vintages abroad. He studied viticulture and oenology and is an AWAC graduate. Lonely Shore began out of nostalgia for time spent in California and a passion for Pinot Noir.
Lonely Shore was named after a novel written by Liam's Grandmother Freda Vines in the 70's. Liam has a full time winemaking role at Forest Hill in Denmark, and Holii is a wedding photographer and videographer for Holli & Ash. Lonely Shore produce just one wine. The fruit is sourced from the DeiTos vineyard, located on an elevated clearing in the Middlesex subregion 6km south east of the town of Manjimup on the family property of Fabio and Katrina Deitos. Established in 1996, the vineyard is planted east west and is dry farmed on a complex mix of karri and jarrah loams over deep gravels. About 200 cases are produced each vintage.
