Product Description:
Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc at its clean-cut best.
Shaw + Smith’s Sauvignon Blanc has long been a reference point for the style, and the 2025 vintage holds the line with quiet confidence. Made from handpicked fruit across the Adelaide Hills, this is a precise, textural white that shows cool-climate winemaking without pretence or overreach.
Fermented cold and kept free from oak, the focus is purity—citrus, passionfruit and just a flicker of herbaceous lift, all shaped by crisp natural acidity and modest alcohol. The mild season has delivered fruit with great tension and clarity, making this release especially drinkable.
It’s not trying to shock or reinvent the style—it just nails it. Bright, focused, and ready to go from first pour to last. Best enjoyed chilled and young.
