Shaw & Smith Shiraz

Hand-picked and carefully crafted, this Shiraz is either destemmed and fermented as whole berries or undergoes whole-bunch fermentation with stems intact. Gentle handling and extended fermentations ensure delicate tannins and preserve the captivating perfume of cool-climate Shiraz. The wine is aged predominantly in seasoned French oak, enhancing its finesse. This is a beautifully balanced, medium-bodied expression of cool-climate Shiraz, where elegance takes precedence over sheer power. The nose enchants with violets, red cherries, and satsuma plums, layered with a hint of roasted hazelnuts. On the palate, soft, velvety tannins round out a wine that is effortlessly graceful yet irresistibly charming.
