The Shaw + Smith Sauvignon Blanc 2017 vintage is true to style with accentuated florals and very bright natural acidity, reminiscent of the 2015 vintage. It is bone dry and un-oaked to maintain freshness.

Reviews & Accolades

“This is a dignified sauvignon blanc that continuously reveals itself as you move from the bouquet through to the aftertaste of the palate. Initially it has classic restraint, but by the time you pick up the sweet fruit (not sugar) you realise its the product of a vintage designed for sauvignon blanc.”
96 Points – James Halliday, Wine Companion – November 2017

“Theres little doubt this is one of the better releases of this ever-popular wine.
It bursts with fruit, its clean and pure, its not without elegance and/or restraint and yet it gives people what they want. Ripe tropical fruit cut with grapefruit, lime and lemongrass. Life-of-the-party and well-mannered at once. Charmingly uncluttered. A delicious Adelaide Hills sauvignon blanc if ever there was one.”
93 Points – Campbell Mattinson, winefront.com.au – October 2017

“Lightly grassy and green-fruited on the nose but definitely not pungent. More grapefruit than passionfruit and without the sweaty note of excessive thiols that you get on some NZ SBs.
Bone dry, fresh and with a fine grip that balances the green-fruited freshness and shows how well the lees effect supports the fruit.”
