Shaw and Smith Pinot Noir 2024
A refined, cool climate Pinot Noir from the heights of the Adelaide Hills, where Shaw + Smith continue to define a style built on clarity, precision, and quiet depth.
The nose is lifted and composed, with red cherry, wild strawberry, and cranberry layered over rose petal, subtle spice, and a gentle earthy note. There is a purity to the fruit, framed by a fine savoury edge that brings both tension and intrigue.
On the palate, it is finely structured and elegant, with bright red fruits carried by a line of fresh acidity. The tannins are silky and well defined, giving shape without weight, while a subtle influence of oak adds texture and depth rather than overt flavour.
The finish is long, savoury, and poised, with lingering notes of red fruit, spice, and a delicate mineral thread.
A Pinot Noir of restraint and precision, where balance and detail speak louder than power.
