AboutShaw + Smith
Cousins Michael Hill-Smith and Martin Shaw founded Shaw + Smith in 1989, making their first vintage in 1990. They bought land at Balhannah in 1999 and built a winery and tasting room ready for the 2000 vintage.
Four Adelaide Hills vineyards—Balhannah, Lenswood, Piccadilly and Lobethal—cover about seventy hectares. Their plantings include Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Shiraz. The wines are fermented, aged and bottled at Balhannah.
Shaw and Smith 2024 Sauvignon Blanc
Australian White
A vibrant, polished Sauvignon Blanc with bright peach and citrus at the centre and delicate floral notes adding lift. The palate carries the same energetic fruit across a smooth, lightly creamy texture, avoiding overt green pungency in favour of clarity and balance. A long, refreshing finish keeps the wine poised and food-friendly. Serve well chilled with shellfish, fresh goat cheese or herb-led salads.
