Personalised Shaw + Smith Shiraz 2022 13.5% Magnum 1500ml

Tasting Notes

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.

Region notes
Shaw + Smith own three vineyards in the Adelaide Hills, at Balhannah, Lenswood and Piccadilly Valley, totalling 60 hectares. Our aim is to grow the highest possible quality grapes from healthy vines grown in healthy soils.

Expert Reviews

James Suckling
95 Pointsout of 100.
Dark fruited and spicy, with undertones of cured meat, black olives and herbs on the nose. The palate is well balanced, with firmly framed tannins and focused acidity that leads to a densely packed yet refined and pure fruit-driven finish with some lovely spicy, cool-climate shiraz flavors. A well-balanced wine that will age nicely. Drink or hold.
