The 2024 Shadowfax Macedon Pinot Noir is a refined cool-climate Pinot Noir from the Macedon Ranges, one of Australia's highest and coolest wine regions. Crafted by Shadowfax, the wine reflects the long, cool growing season with lifted aromas of dark cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, complemented by rose petals, forest floor, cedar and subtle spice. Careful French oak maturation adds complexity while preserving the purity of the fruit.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, bright natural acidity and impressive precision. Flavours of red and dark berries, fine spice and earthy undertones are supported by a mineral backbone, leading to a long, elegant finish. The balance of freshness, structure and finesse makes this a classic expression of cool-climate Australian Pinot Noir.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Macedon Ranges Pinot Noir for those who enjoy elegant, savoury reds with depth and freshness. Enjoy now with a short decant or cellar through 2034. Pair with roast duck, mushroom risotto, grilled salmon, herb-roasted chicken or pork tenderloin.
