DESCRIPTION
Shaw + Smith Shiraz 2022 is one of Australia's most iconic cool-climate red wines and the definitive benchmark of the Adelaide Hills. Crafted since 2002, this 100% Shiraz is sourced from a meticulous selection of hand-harvested grapes in the Balhannah (340 to 380m) and Lenswood (455 to 500m) vineyards, which feature sandy loam and quartz soils. The winemaking incorporates a partial inclusion of whole bunches to add spice and complexity. The wine is then aged for 10 months in French oak barrels (puncheons and barriques, 20% new), followed by 16 months of bottle aging before release.
Hailing from a cool vintage shaped by La Niña, this vibrant and elegant wine reveals a complex bouquet on the nose of blackcurrant, raspberry, cherry, plum, herbs, and flowers, enhanced by notes of licorice, clove, white pepper, and a subtle touch of pencil lead. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and perfectly balanced, driven by tight, silky tannins, leading into a fresh and long finish.
Ideal to enjoy with meat in sauce, lamb, venison, or Roquefort cheese. Aging potential until 2033.

I really liked this Shiraz as the tannins are moderate and well-integrated. Notes of dark fruits and spices with a lovely fresh finish. A balanced wine to pair with Mediterranean cuisine.
