Freshness, vibrancy and precision define the 2025 Shaw + Smith Sauvignon Blanc, one of Australia’s benchmark expressions of the variety from the cool-climate Adelaide Hills. Shaw + Smith has long been regarded as a pioneer in the region, crafting Sauvignon Blanc that balances aromatic intensity with clarity and restraint. Fruit for the 2025 vintage is sourced from high-elevation vineyards across the Adelaide Hills, where cool nights and long ripening periods help preserve natural acidity and delicate aromatics.
The winemaking approach focuses on preserving purity of fruit, with careful temperature-controlled fermentation that maintains the wine’s crisp, lifted character. In the glass, the wine displays a pale straw hue with green reflections, signalling its youthful freshness. Aromatically it offers a vibrant profile driven by citrus, tropical fruit and subtle herbal lift. The palate is energetic and finely textured, combining bright fruit with a refreshing line of acidity. The result is a Sauvignon Blanc that is lively yet composed, offering both immediate appeal and refined balance. In magnum format, the wine maintains its freshness beautifully while allowing the aromatic complexity to evolve gradually in bottle.
