This high-altitude Pinot Gris displays great aromatic lift. Potpourri, cashews and melon notes leap from the glass. Hints of crushed rock and lees character add complexity. The perfume is persistent and intriguing, always bringing you back for another sniff. O the palate it is a fine Pinot Gris with blood orange and preserved lemon flavours. The fruit is powerful, long and elegantly defined. These fruit flavours are complexed by creamy barrel ferment characters such as nougat, and enveloped with fine grapefruit pith texture giving extra intrigue. Cleansing acidity on the finish. – Al Timms, Shadowfax

Notes
The 2022 Shadowfax Macedon Ranges Pinot Gris is from our prized Little Hampton vineyard in the Macedon Ranges. With the La Niña pattern continuing, a cool summer and mild spring led to a very long growing season. Crop levels were good, and careful canopy thinning was required throughout the season to keep air flow and sun onto the grapes. Little Hampton’s 740 meters above-sea-level elevation produces extra cool nights, helping to retain natural acidity in the grapes. Grapes ripened very late in the season with full flavour and phenolic ripeness. Fruit was handpicked in small batches in pristine condition and the fruit firmly whole bunch pressed to release the full Pinot Gris flavour profile. Natural ferment occurred in older French oak barrels. The wine was left to unwind and age slowly on its ferment lees to add generosity and complexity. After 7 months the wine was racked and filtered prior to bottling in late November 2022. – Al Timms, Shadowfax
