Shadowfax Macedon Pinot Noir 2024

95 Points (Jane Faulkner) - Halliday Wine Companion
Nothing much to report because this is perfect to drink now. If you must know, it’s supple and soft with beautifully fine tannins, plenty of cherry accents (including pips), and it's spicy and juicy with lithe acidity. It’s gentle in a way and it’s a wine you want to enjoy at lunch then kick back for the rest of the day.

Colour
Dark red with bright purple hues and brilliant clarity.

Aroma
This elegant Macedon ranges Pinot Noir has brooding spice aromas including cardamom, star anise, sandalwood and citrus rind. Blue fruit, red cherries, forest floor and graphite give the wines complexity. The wine has intrigue and flair in the glass, evolving through time.

Palate
Red cherry and dried cranberries spill onto the palate. This generous Pinot has breadth and expanse, yet shows poise from seams of grown ripe tannins. There are complexities galore with dried herb and sandalwood interacting with cherry pith fruits. The palate is long and persistent yet light on its feet, bringing you back for more. This is a powerful Pinot and a fine example of cool climate, high altitude Macedon Ranges Pinot Noir.

Food Pairing
Ginger scallop dumpling, Fungi Pizza, roast pork with orange glaze.
