Description
The Shaw + Smith Sauvignon Blanc is the wine that threw down the gauntlet to the flood of NZ Sauvignon Blanc that swept across Australia.
Perhaps the most impressive thing about this wine is its consistency. The fruit is managed with the utmost care. Picked from premium vineyards in the cooler parts of the Adelaide Hills, this wine is the ultimate accompaniment to long lunches and warm afternoons.
Simply put, this is the gold standard of Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc.

"Perhaps one of Australia's most famed sauvignon blancs with a seemingly unnerving level of quality for the pricepoint... Just so, done well, easy drinking and moderately complex to boot."

"Are you even a legit wine personage, if this wine is not within hands reach? THE go-to Australian Sauvignon Blanc for a reason."

"I love this wine. It tastes the same every year, which is impressive considering the relative size of it... This is very good."

"There’s a good swing of flavour to this release. It’s quite estery and quite tropical, with citrus in support and modest but noticeable lemongrass characters... It’s fresh, it has flavour, it’s pretty and it’s well balanced."
- Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)
