A true benchmark for Sauvignon Blanc in Australia, the Shaw + Smith Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2021 has long been celebrated for its precise balance of fruit and acidity. Awarded 96 points by Oz Wine, The Wine Front, and The Real Review, this wine showcases aromas of passionfruit, lime, and fresh herbs. The palate is zesty, with bright flavours of citrus and tropical fruit, underpinned by a subtle minerality that leads to a long, refreshing finish.

The unique terroir of Adelaide Hills plays a vital role in shaping the character of its white wines. The region’s cool climate, with its higher elevation and significant temperature variation between day and night, allows grapes to ripen slowly, developing intense flavours while retaining vibrant acidity. The diverse soils, ranging from sandy loam to clay, contribute further complexity, giving wines a distinctive minerality and structure. The winemakers of Adelaide Hills, many of whom have deep-rooted connections to the land, are dedicated to crafting wines that not only reflect the unique terroir but also push the boundaries of innovation, using a mix of traditional and modern techniques.
