Shaw & Smith Lenswood Vineyard Pinot Noir 2024
Elegance personified..." - Mike Bennie, Halliday Wine Companion
Style
Delicate and perfumed with a distinct, savoury edge. The 2024 season delivered all the intensity required, with a slightly darker fruit spectrum and great concentration of flavour. The palate is supple yet structured, with firmer lines lending shape and persistence, balancing fragrance with depth and quiet power.
Season
Cool and wet conditions during flowering interrupted berry set, resulting in smaller, lighter bunches. The remainder of the season was mostly mild and dry, with a few well-timed rain events supporting vine growth and health. The result was low yields, high acidity and great flavour.
Vineyard
Our Lenswood Vineyard is planted mainly to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, at 455 – 500m elevation. Undulating with east and west facing aspects, the soils are brown loams over clay with broken shale on the ridges. The vineyard was planted in 1999 and is 20 hectares in total.
Vinification
Hand-picked and hand sorted, then long slow ferments in wood and stainless steel vats, followed by 10 months in 500 litre puncheons, 30% new.
Cellar
Will reward careful cellaring for up to 15 years.
