SHAW + SMITH

Cousins Martin Shaw and Michael Hill Smith (a Cordon Bleu trained chef and Australia's first Master of Wine) had long dreamed of making wine together. In 1989 they established their Shaw + Smith vineyards in the Adelaide Hills, a significantly colder wetter region of Australia, where they work exclusively with varieties specifically suited to cold climate growing. As members of Sustainable Winegrowing Australia, they are committed to the sustainability and health of their soil and vines using environmentally sensitive practices. Alongside senior Winemaker Adam Wadewitz, they produce a refined and elegant collection of modern Australian wines.

Typically it shows a pink grapefruit character, concentration and mid-palate texture, which reflect the carefully selected sites and hand harvesting during the small window of perfect ripeness. Lemon, lime and pink grapefruit aromas and real persistence of flavour. Great balance with bright acidity. Hand picked. Cool fermentation in stainless steel followed by maturation on lees. Early bottling to retain freshness.

96 Points,Andrew Graham (Oz Wine Review)

 

"No preamble needed – this Shaw + Smith Shiraz 2021 is excellent. It’s so drinkable. That’s the nub of it. Sure, we can swoon about the purple mulberry and beetroot Adelaide Hills fruit opulence or how the slick of vanilla oak lifts it nicely. Or how the tannins are fine and finessed and the moderate alcohol and just-right acidity makes this, well, just right. The ripeness really is perfect – this is so moderate and delightful despite the volume of polished fruit. But, ultimately, it’s just a really enjoyable, full flavoured, gently spicy, polished, generous, round yet not fat, technically perfect modern Australian Shiraz. Wow. 96 Points."

Aiming for elegance, restraint and the ability to age, acid is bright and there’s generosity of flavour. Typically it shows white flowers, citrus, and nectarine notes. The 2021 vintage was one of the best on record. Ripe and healthy fruit resulted in a beautifully balanced M3, with great flavours, and fresh acidity right through to the long finish. 

 

97 Points, James Halliday

Hand-picked, whole bunch-pressed, fermented and matured in French oak. Its crystal clear quartz-green hue signals the ’21 vintage in all its glory, the bouquet and palate a seamless array of nectarine, grapefruit and cashew. The feel and flow of the aftertaste implore a second glass. Drink to: 2030.
