SKU: SHAWSMSHI22
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.

Red - juicy, smooth, medium-bodied

Palate

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 mid-weight 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.

Food Pairing

Slow cooked lamb shoulder

”This is delightful. It opens with an expectation: game meat, white pepper, raspberry, tart cherry, some dried herbs and a whiff of truffle. Savouriness and pretty fruit hand in hand. It delivers on the palate, satiny tannins wrap up more of those fruit and savoury elements, game meat and pepper a strong card but beautifully woven through red fruits and sweeter spices. Ribbons of those tannins trail long through the palate; a light dusting of spice lingers. It's spot-on medium weight, too. So much charm.”
