Tasting Notes
Aroma
Peaches, cumquat and crushed rock notes. Hints of complexing lees derived quarry
dust and white pepper notes.
Appearance
Pale penny copper, pure clarity.
Palate
A generous mouth filling palate shows rich peaches and cream that flows on and
on. The grenache gives the wine lovely mouth-coating texture and warmth.
The palate is long and flowing with oodles of flavour. The fine lacey tannins frame
the wine, whilst fine acidity keeps the palate fresh and crunchy.
The 2026 Shadowfax Rose is a dangerously drinkable wine best enjoyed chilled
with friends on a warm day.
Vinification
Hand harvested fruit was immediately gently whole bunch pressed to give minimal
colour and tannin extraction. Wild fermentation occurred in older French barrels.
The wine rested on lees to relax and unwind for 6 months prior to assemblage and
bottling in August 2026.
Cellaring Potential
Drink now or over the next 5 years.
Food Matching
Pork Bao Buns, hummus dip with veg, deep fried cauliflower.
