Shaw + Smith Shiraz 2023 6pack 13.5% 750ml

Tasting Notes

Aroma
The perfume and elegance of cool season Shiraz is balanced with the complexity that comes from extended time in barrel.

Palate
Violets and baking spice are met with a hint of black olive on the powerful mid-palate which is framed by grippy tannins that taper on the finish.

Region notes
It’s high, it’s cool, and Shiraz thrives in it. The Adelaide Hills has a reputation for high quality, but also has lots of diversity that makes it one of Australia’s most exciting cool climate regions.

Vinification
Hand-picked, then either destemmed and fermented as whole berries, or fermented as whole bunches, stems and all. We like gentle handling and long ferments so the tannins are fine, and the perfume of cool climate Shiraz is not lost.

Maturation
Matured in mainly older French oak for around 12 months.

Vintage notes
Our third La Niña influenced season in a row, 2023 was a late, cool, and wet season. The result was the latest vintage that we’ve experienced, with excellent acidity and lovely cool season flavours.
