The Edinburgh Sparkling NV

Philip Shaw Wines

Orange, New South Wales

The Edinburgh is a rebellion to the traditional norm. It muses to tradition but forges its own unconventional path. Excellent light straw colour with fine mousse. Vibrant bouquet with complex creamy and autolysis
Full and fine with superb bead. The pinot noir donates drive and depth whilst the chardonnay contributes to the volume and vibrance. The combination of chardonnay and Pinot Noir creates a balance with great length and structure- this wine has an abundance of savoury complexity with brilliance and focus


Viticulture

The first pick of a harvest, the Edinburgh is picked in mid-February when acid and flavour align


Vinification

Grapes are hand harvested and whole bunch pressed to limit extraction of tannins. Juice is handled oxidatively. Fermented in 100% older oak with indigenous yeast. Natural Malolactic fermentation in spring. Tiraged after 10months in older oak and left to mature for minimum 2.5years before disgorging. Minimal dosage
