A benchmark expression from the cool slopes of the Adelaide Hills, the 2025 vintage leans into clarity, energy, and that signature Shaw + Smith drinkability — where precision meets quiet generosity.

Sourced from estate vineyards in Balhannah and Lenswood, the fruit is hand-picked, cool-fermented in stainless steel, and rested briefly on lees to build texture while preserving freshness.

The nose is lifted and immediate, with pink grapefruit, lime zest, and green apple layered with passionfruit, citrus blossom, and a subtle herbal edge. There is a brightness here, but also a softness that gives the aromatics a gentle, flowing feel.

On the palate, it moves in two waves — first, a burst of juicy citrus and tropical fruit, lively and mouthwatering, then it tightens into something more composed, with a fine mineral line and a lightly textural, almost mealy mid-palate. Acidity is crisp and precise, carrying the wine with energy without sharpness.

The finish is long, zippy, and moreish, leaving citrus, light herbs, and a clean mineral echo that invites another sip.

A Sauvignon Blanc that feels effortless but exact — bright, textural, and quietly complete.
