Description / Reviews
"The cool, late season allowed for a long, leisurely hang time, resulting in concentrated flavours of pink grapefruit, citrus zest and orchard fruits. The palate is full flavoured, yet resolved. Balanced by refreshing acidity and a clean, crisp finish.
From our estate vineyards at Balhannah and Lenswood, grown on loams over clay with ironstone and quartzite. These vineyards are certified organic, and we work closely with our growers to help them grow great grapes sustainably. 2026 is the 37th vintage that Shaw + Smith has made. It has become known as a benchmark for Adelaide Hills, and Australian, Sauvignon Blanc." - Shaw + Smith, Winemaker
"This is a particularly apple-driven release with lime, lemongrass, steel and gooseberry notes washing throughout. It’s aromatic, it’s fresh, it’s racy and it has enough intensity to the flavour to keep everyone happy. It also feels dry. Acidity is a little dangly/jangly but then, it’s early July 2026 and the grapes were only picked a few months ago." - 91 Points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
