Shaw + Smith Pinot Noir 2024

Description

Product Description:A refined expression of cool-climate Australian Pinot Noir. Shaw + Smith Pinot Noir 2024 captures the clarity and tension of the Adelaide Hills through precise vineyard work and restrained winemaking. Sourced primarily from the Lenswood and Balhannah vineyards, it reflects the region’s elevated slopes and long, temperate growing season. The result is a wine of lifted fragrance, purity of fruit, and supple structure, an assured continuation of the estate’s benchmark style first established in 2007. The 2024 vintage delivers fine-boned tannins, vibrant red fruit, and a lingering sense of balance. Hand-picked fruit, small-batch fermentations, and gentle French oak maturation bring definition without excess. This Pinot Noir shows the quiet power of the Hills: bright, aromatic, and structured for short- to mid-term cellaring, ideal alongside duck, mushroom risotto, or aged cheeses. Tasting NotesNOSE– Fragrant & PreciseRed cherry, raspberry, and floral lift with subtle spice and forest floor complexity. PALATE– Silky & LayeredBright red fruits and fine tannins glide through a frame of tension and savoury detail. FINISH– Long & ElegantLingering redcurrant, spice, and mineral freshness, with poised balance and length. Reviews & AccoladesMedium red-purple colour, bright and youthful. Sweet raspberry, red cherry and floral aromatics, good intensity and a solid backing of firm but measured tannins supplying backbone and adding to length. A pretty serious Pinot Noir, with impact and persistence, that would reward a little extra time in bottle.” – Huon Hooke, The Real Review, 94 Points Ranked #3 of 21 Adelaide Hills Pinot Noirs (2024 Vintage) – The Real Review Finer Details:Style – Red WineVarietal – Pinot NoirCountry – AustraliaRegion – Adelaide Hills, South AustraliaVintage – 2024Bottle Size – 750mlABV – 13.5%Closure – Screw Cap
