{"product_id":"2023-lignee-shiraz-pinot-noir","title":"2023 Lignee Shiraz Pinot Noir","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis started as a fun side hustle between two mates - Angus Vinden and Will Gilbert - blending Shiraz and Pinot in a nod to the great Maurice O’Shea reds of old. But four vintages in, it’s clear this isn’t just a passion project anymore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 release of the Lignee collab marks a turning point. It’s more structured, more resolved, and miles more serious than the early magnum-only bottlings. Still, the bones of the idea remain: half Hunter Shiraz from Angus’s dry-grown Somerset vines (planted ’65 - ’70), and half high-altitude Orange Pinot from Will’s Gordon Hills site. A blend that's greater than the sum of its parts is the idea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey make their halves separately - no blending trials, then meet at the end and see how it fits together and in 2023 they both nailed the assignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 release is a lovely savoury, mid-weight red with detail and intent. Nothing showy. Just a wine that feels comfortable in its skin which is both a nod to the past of NSW wine and also a bright new look at what NSW reds can look like in the modern era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Impossibly glorious, long and persistent.
