2023 Shaw + Smith Shiraz

The 2023 Shiraz was hand picked, sorted and fermented using a combination of whole berries and whole bunches in open fermenters. Gentle plunging and minimal working were used to preserve aromatics and freshness. The wine was matured in French oak for fourteen months, with one third of the oak new. Medium bodied in style, it reflects Shaw + Smith’s focus on balance rather than power. The palate is shaped by cool-climate brightness, fine tannin structure and measured fruit intensity
