WINERY INFORMATION:

The grapes for Edinburgh were carefully handpicked from Blocks 11 (Chardonnay) and 10 (Pinot Noir), both areas drop from the vineyards backbone down a steep southerly face. We started picking early in the season to retain acidity and vibrancy, preliminary at first light whilst the air was cool and finishing by lunch. The fruit was quickly delivered to the winery where further sorting was required and the hand-picked selection allowed a very clean sample of fruit, which was gently pressed as whole bunches, utilising only the juice which was low in tannin to achieve the desirable flavours and texture in the final wine.

TASTING NOTES:

Edinburgh has an excellent light straw colour with a fine bubble. Vibrant fruit with complex creamy and autolysis* characters. Full and fine with superb mousse. Pinot adds opulent complex characters whilst chardonnay adds to the brightness and vibrancy. 3–5 years under ideal cellaring conditions.

Review for Non - Vintage

As a fizz, it has aromas of rich berries, bready yeast, lemon and apples with a mineral backbone. It is a dry style of sparkling that finishes crisp and fresh. Made from grapes from the Koomooloo vineyards on a steep south facing slope and has spent some 12 months in old seasoned French oak barrels. The wine was then bottled to go through the second ferment and left to spend further time on lees. Hence, the Edinburgh has Philip Shaw’s signature. I am yet to drink a bottle of his wine that is lacking in palate texture. In this wine, the palate is creamy and very finely tuned. A wine that is irresistibly hard to put down once you have tasted it. A good aperitif style or one that will drink well with a light starter course.
