Notes

Style

Shaw + Smith Shiraz is a medium bodied cool-climate Shiraz, in which balance is more important than power.
A wine with freshness and lift, and some luscious fruit as well. There’s a combination of red and blue fruits, a touch of white pepper, and good grippy tannins framing the midweight palate. From a cool La Niña season, this Shiraz delivers brightness and vibrancy with ripe fruit and structure that makes it very complete and delicious cool climate Shiraz.

Season

The vintage threw up a number of challenges but the weather during the ripening period was extremely kind. February saw perfectly even ripening and resulted in grapes that were small, packed with flavour, and with higher than normal acidity.

Season

From low yielding vines in Balhannah and the central Adelaide Hills.

Vinification

Aged for 10 months in 500 to 600 litre French oak barrels, 20% new, followed by a further 16 months in bottle.
