The 2021 Shaw + Smith Sauvignon Blanc 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. This vintage shows the hallmarks of a cool season: floral and pink grapefruit aromas, intensity and texture on the palate and bright, lifted acidity.
96 Point Rated - Jeni Port James Halliday Wine Companion
"Hand-picked fruit, cool fermentation in stainless steel, maturation on lees and early bottling. A model of consistency over 32 vintages, Shaw + Smith Sauvignon Blanc continues to lead the way in 2021 with a combination of fruit intensity and a seeming lightness of being. It's told in 2 parts; the 1st is exuberant tropicals, citrus and herbal interplay, but it quickly moves into a state of serious intensity, filigree acidity and mealy texture. That lasting impression saturates the tastebuds and stays with you."
93 Point Rated - Angus Hughson Wine Pilot
“The wine that put Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc on the global map, and it is in stellar form with not only bright, pure and powerful fruits but also fine detail and complexity. Primarily passionfruit and honeydew melon aromas with hints of green bean and citrus provide a delicious youthful vitality and freshness. It is followed by quite a full and generous palate for sauvignon blanc underscored by tangy acidity. This is a sauvignon blanc with plenty of flavour that is finely balanced and finishes with subtle herbal complexity. Enjoy with King George Whiting and gently steamed greens.”
