WINE NOTES

"I think great wines should have silk, a softness, a texture; It's in the making - a marriage between the vineyard and the winemaking." - Philip Shaw


Walking the line

Philip Shaw No. 11 Chardonnay 2006

"No.11 is the number of my dream Chardonnay plot. It slopes to the south, away from the sun making it one of the coolest sites in the vineyard - ideal for Chardonnay..."

Philip Shaw No. 17 Merlot Cabernet Franc Cabernet 2006

"By adding together the plot numbers (2, 3, 5, and 7) from which the fruit for this wine was originally sourced, you'll arrive at number 17..."

Philip Shaw No. 19 Sauvignon Blanc 2007

"This wine is in memory of my good friend, Albert Chan, whose birthday was the 19th of August. We studied winemaking and worked together at Lindemans..."

Philip Shaw No. 89 Shiraz 2005

"Numbered for the year in which the Shiraz was planted. Shiraz is my most challenging, yet rewarding variety..."

Philip Shaw No. 8 Pinot Noir 2006

"The lucky number - My gambling number, Chinese lucky number, the on-going eternity symbol and a snake in a knot - No. 8 is the gamble!"

Philip Shaw Pink Billy 2006

"Pink Billy is our show girl Rose..."
