A Benchmark for Australian Sauvignon Blanc
Vibrant pale straw with brilliant green tinges. Intense aromas of tropical fruits and citrus peel. Sauvignon Blanc is a regional speciality in the cooler Adelaide Hills. The wine is unoaked to maximise its fresh varietal character and overall tangy, zippy flavours. It has more middle palate and length than more herbaceous styles. A young refreshing wine with pure varietal flavours and lively acidity.

“Another winner, this draws on a range of Adelaide Hills sites to provide its consistently appealing array of cut grass, citrus and passionfruit.”
“Yet another excellent sauvignon from Shaw and Smith in the Adelaide Hills and all the more admirable considering the very difficult and horribly hot SA 08 vintage. Instantly engaging and appealing aromas and flavours including passionfruit, guava and melon plus some green herbal and grassy notes. Drinks an absolute treat with yum cha.”
