nne Krebiehl MW, Justin Knock MW, Dirceu Vianna Junior MW, Novembre 2023 (Millésime 2021)Shaw & Smith was founded in 1989 by cousins Martin Shaw and Michael Hill Smith MW (who also own Tolpuddle in Tasmania). Planted in 1999, and purchased in 2012, their Lenswood vineyard sits at 500m on loam soils over clay and shale. Whole bunches ferment in new and used puncheons then the wine matures for 10 months in barrel, 30% new. Anne Krebiehl MW: Slightly oaky and smoky, but bright and crunchy, lightbodied, with pretty, almost confected red fruit at the core. Fine freshness. Justin Knock MW: Open, creamy nose, a bit reduced. Caramel and violets, bacon, blue fruits, a little short and tight. Warm finish. Dirceu Vianna Junior MW: Pure and precise aromas, exciting. Forest fruits and roses with sweet spices. Excellent concentration, sophisticated structure. Smooth, delicious finish.
