Description
"Light straw yellow hue. Honey poached pears and yellow floral aromas. Rich and velvety on the palate, with honey, florals and ripe stone fruits at the core. Good length and it glides rather than drives to the end."

About Shadowfax Wines
Established in 1998, Shadowfax is a family-owned boutique winery located in the heart of Werribee Park. It is headed by Chief Winemaker Alister Timms, who leads the small and innovative winemaking team. Shadowfax has a strong focus on regionality with fruit produced from its vineyards in the Macedon Ranges as well as their own Minnow vineyard in Werribee. Renowned wines include chardonnay and pinot noir as well as a selection of single-vineyard releases and unique French varieties. Their flagship Little Hampton vineyard in Macedon is planted on deep red soils over hard sandstone and quartz reefs and sits at 720 meters altitude. This unique combination gives the pinot noir its distinctive rose hip and violet aroma with grown tannins and flourish on the palate. The Macedon Ranges chardonnays display all the great things in ultra-cool climate chardonnay; flavour, poise, acid structure and purity. Shadowfax is proudly a James Halliday 5 Star rated winery.
