Shadowfax Wines Macedon Ranges Pinot Noir 2021

The Macedon Ranges is one of Australia’s leading regions for Pinot Noir thanks to it being one of the coolest locations on the mainland, with this example beautifully showcasing the region’s fine and detailed style. Pretty in the glass and aromatically as well thanks to perfumed cranberry, spice, floral and forest floor aromas with good volume and intensity. The velvety palate is then underpinned by a fresh but balanced acidity supporting flavours of damp earth, dark cherry and spice that linger over a sustained finish. Hard to keep your hands off now but you know it is going to reach a better place over the next three to five years.
