Philip Shaw The Wirewalker Pinot Noir 2022 Orange - 12 Bottles

WINERY INFORMATION:

The Parcels were picked in the cool of the morning and delivered to the winery for processing. Approximately 15% of selected parcels were kept as whole bunches for ferment and the remainder of the grapes were destemmed, sorted and split before being placed into closed fermenters. Wild yeast carried out the primary ferment, giving the wine greater complexity and mouthfeel. During ferment the wine was monitored and tasted daily. Extended maceration on selected parcels gave greater depth and savoury characteristics. The wine was pressed, and racked to oak where it was left to mature and evolve.

TASTING NOTES:

The Wire walker is garnet red in colour. A vibrant nose leads into a sensuous palate showing spice and earth marrying with ripe berry fruits. It is a medium bodied elegant wine with supple tannins and lingering ripe cherry on the finish.
