Our Review
Once an offspring of Werribee Park, Shadowfax is now very much its own master. It has 20ha from its close-planted Little Hampton vineyard in the Macedon Ranges and 7ha of Estate vines which overlook the winery. Alister Timms, with degrees in science (University of Melbourne) and oenology (University of Adelaide) became chief winemaker in ’17. Though the team have access so some lesser known varieties, chardonnay remains the jewel of the Shadowfax crown.
