Shaw + Smith Lenswood Vineyard Pinot Noir Splendid Gin clotted cream and faint brazilThe 2023 vintage had low yields due to the cool and wet season which resulted in a delicate, lighter style.

The tannins are softer compared to 2022, which plays to the longer and cooler vintage that 2023 delivered.
