Shadowfax 'Minnow' Carigan 2019

A wonderful quote from Alister Timms, Shadowfax Vineyard Manager

“At Shadowfax we want our vineyards to express their own unique characters and the wine grown there to talk to the on e who’s drinking it, by telling its own story. The grapes grown must reflect the site, thus each vineyard site must be grown depending on its own requests. If you look, listen and taste (both grape, vine and soil) the vineyard will tell you its needs and wants. Whether that be some foliage manipulation, fruit thinning or it may be screaming out for a little drink, we will act. We are not afraid of new ideas, experimentation, trials and tribulation, whilst having a ball doing so. We want the vineyard to do the talking using the wine glass as its stage.” Alister Timms – Vineyard Manager

"The nose shows dark blood plum, briary spice, hints of liquorice. Brooding game meats add further intrigue. Black cassis fruits flow onto a round palate. Sappy tannins build through the wine, with a distinct crunch at the back of the palate. This dark and building wine has presence on the palate that rolls on that thrives with food." Al Timms - Shadowfax
