  • TASTING NOTE: "A delicious Hills pinot, a new breed of unicorn. Rhubarb, fecund strawberry, orange pastille and red liquorice notes are compressed into a gentle ball of tension by well-placed oak and juicy, sappy freshness. A tingle of dill attests to some whole bunches in the mix. The finish, crunchy, finessed and vibrant. Delicious drinking across the early to mid-term."  93 Points - Ned Goodwin, Halliday Wine Companion
  • ABOUT THE WINE: Predominantly from the Lenswood Vineyard, at 455–500 meters elevation. The vineyard was planted in 1999. Hand-picked and sorted. Combination of whole berry and whole bunch (20%) fermentation. Fifteen days on skins. Matured in French oak, majority puncheons.
  • ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Shaw + Smith was established in 1989 by cousins Michael Hill Smith MW and Martin Shaw. They make wines exclusively from the Adelaide Hills, from varieties that suit the cooler climate: Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Shiraz. Shaw + Smith own two vineyards, in Lenswood and Balhannah. Growing the best possible grapes, managing vineyards sustainably, and valuing vine health, soil health, and low yields are central to the Shaw + Smith approach. In the pursuit of quality, all grapes continue to be hand-picked, and the wines are fermented, aged and bottled on site at Balhannah. The wines are vibrant, medium bodied expressions of their varieties that reflect their sites and region. Shaw + Smith’s first vintage was in 1990, and the early vintages were made at Wirra Wirra and Petaluma. In 1999 they purchased a property at Balhannah, where they planted vines, and built the winery and tasting room in time for the 2000 vintage.
