Introduction

The Other Wine Co. Sangiovese 2024

A brand new edition to the portfolio for vintage 2024, from the cool climate vineyards of Mount Lofty Ranges. This wine screams Other Wine Co. - a vivacious, bright, early drinking red, with wild strawberry, juicy blue fruits and bright florals. There's perfume, bay leaf and spice, with firm tannins and fresh acidity.

It's fermented as a combination of whole bunches and whole berries, spending two weeks on skins before being basket pressed to old oak and stainless steel. It was bottled young, which coupled with the cooler conditions of vintage 2024, mean it's retained brightness and lifted aromatics.  We couldn't have asked for more of an inaugural release. 

Shaw and Smith Sauvignon Blanc 2024 

Fresh, bright and expressive, an iconic expression of this variety, each year's release is eagerly anticipated.

The Other Wine Co. Pinot Gris 2024

The tenth release of The Other Wine Co. Pinot Gris, from an exceptional, cold vintage. It tipifies the wines style evolution – textural ferments, maturation in old French oak, and a beautiful balance of texture and flavour. Super aromatic from a highly concentrated season, with white pear, jasmine and almond sorbet. 

Fermented on full solids in a combination of large format oak foudres, seasoned French oak puncheons, and stainless steel. It was then allowed to rest on lees for 4 months. Star jasmine, mock orange blooms and pomelo pith. Mangosteen, orchard apples and nashi pear. Fresh linen, green gage plum and white pepper. This wine has stayed true to its style from day dot with slight tinkering to sweetness levels and hue. It's unapologetically Gris and filled with spice and all things nice. A lovely wash of natural moderate acidity and slight oily palate. A deserving pairing for Chinese strange flavour chicken or a fat turkey and brie sandwich.

Shaw and Smith Balhannah Vineyard Shiraz 2020

A complex, finely-textured Shiraz expressing the conditions of each vintage and the character of a unique vineyard site.

Shaw and Smith Lenswood Chardonnay 2022

From blocks three and four in our Lenswood Vineyard. First planted in 1999, it has east and west facing aspects and reaches 500 meters above sea level. A fine boned chardonnay that reflects the conditions of the vintage and the character of this unique vineyard site.

Shaw and Smith Balhannah Vineyard Shiraz 2021

From close-planted low yielding vines from block two at Shaw + Smith’s Balhannah Vineyard, planted in 2005. A complex, finely-textured shiraz expressing the conditions of each vintage and the character of a unique vineyard site.

Shaw and Smith Pinot Noir 2023

Subtle, perfumed and elegant, pinot noir is the most temperamental of varieties and remains a challenge for site, season and winemaking - Shaw + Smith has joined the quest albeit in a ‘small batch’ way. First produced experimentally in 2004 and commercially in 2007. Site selection, the right clonal mix, minuscule yields and fastidious vineyard management are essential to success.

Shaw and Smith Shiraz 2022

The Adelaide Hills was long considered too cool to ripen shiraz. By the early 2000s, though, the potential for outstanding shiraz from the right sites in the Adelaide Hills was compelling, and the first Shaw + Smith Shiraz was made in the 2002 vintage. Since then, shiraz in the Hills has gone from strength to strength. Shaw + Smith Shiraz is a medium bodied cool-climate shiraz, in which balance is more important than power.
