Shiraz

Shaw + Smith Shiraz is mostly drawn from the estate vineyard at Balhannah in the central Adelaide Hills, with small parcels from Echunga and Macclesfield in the region's south.

The fruit is hand harvested and sorted. A mix of whole berries and whole bunches are open fermented with gentle plunging. The wine then matures for 14 months in French oak barrels, around one third new.

Deep purple, Shaw + Smith Shiraz is a medium bodied, cool climate Shiraz with vibrant dark fruits and spice. Balance is the focus, not power. Cellaring potential is 15 years.
