Tasting Note
Shaw + Smith has become known as a benchmark for Adelaide Hills, and Australian, Sauvignon Blanc. The style has remained fresh, aromatic, and pure over the journey. Recent evolution has been to source from higher and cooler sites, allowing the wine to retain lively acidity if conditions are warmer. Typically, it shows a pink grapefruit character, concentration and mid-palate texture, which reflect the carefully selected sites and hand harvesting during the small window of perfect ripeness. Pair it with poached or steamed delicate fish such as tuna or freshwater trout, accompanied by green vegetables like green beans and kale.
Wine & Cheese Pairing
For cheese pairings, you may want to try fresh and tangy cheeses such as goat cheese, feta, or chevre. These types of cheeses have a bright and tangy flavor that complements the wine’s zesty acidity.
Another great option is creamy and nutty cheese such as ricotta or burrata. These types of cheeses have a mild and buttery flavor that can balance the wine’s acidity while adding some richness to the pairing.
