Description
The Lenswood Pinot Noir is the top red wine in the esteemed Shaw + Smith stable.
From block one in their Lenswood Vineyard. First planted in 1999, it has east and west facing aspects and reaches 500 metres above sea level. The soil is brown loam over clay with some broken shale and stone on the ridges. A Pinot Noir of delicacy and fragrance, with fresh acid, and subtle layers of flavour and texture. Deep in colour, with red fruit and spice aromas. Complex and dense with a bright palate and savoury
finish.
If classy, cool-climate Pinot Noir is your thing, this is a beautiful Australian example that will find a very happy place in your cellar.
