Philip Shaw Wines are made only from the grapes grown on Koomooloo near Orange NSW, a 47ha vineyard, most of which was planted in 1988/89. The vineyard peaks at 900m above sea level, making it one of the highest in Australia. Philip has been making wine in Australia for more than four decades and he approaches each aspect of wine making with a healthy mix of innovation and unrelenting quality standards. "I have waited a long time to make sure the vineyard has enough maturity before attempting to make wine from it."

The best parcels of fruit were selected in the vineyard. The grapes were fermented in open vats. Native yeasts carried out primary fermentation, giving the wine added complexity and interest. During fermentation the cap was punched down daily to extract flavours, colour and tannins from the skins. The wine was left to evolve in 50% new French oak along with some older oak for more than a year.
The No89 is bright and detailed. It is has alluring fruit with undertones of spice and earth. On the palate the wine is opulent with savoury tannins, length and finesse.
