About the Wine
Stepping into the realm of hip new (old) wine styles, the Shaw + Smith team have blended up their own version of Adelaide Hills Shiraz, with an added little splash of Pinot Noir.
This blend works wonderfully in the Adelaide Hills - the naturally spicy Shiraz of the region finds its perfect foil in the sweetly fruited, floral Hills Pinot Noir.
While the S+S wines are made in a serious, cellaring style, this is meant to be opened and enjoyed immediately.
A 'nouveau' red that's a great addition to this vibrant label.
If you're feeling in the mood or the weather is particularly warm, a light chill on this wine won't hurt one bit.

From the Producer
We’ve taken Grenache to a light, fragrant and vibrant place, and our Pinot Gris has stone fruit and freshness that get along perfectly. When it came to our third wine, we wanted something with more body, that didn’t lose freshness or vibrancy. Adelaide Hills Shiraz offers medium weight with perfume, spice and bright fruits. Perfect, but we needed extra acid freshness and aromatics to keep it well in the bright, vibrant zone. So we added Pinot Noir, also Adelaide Hills. And that’s it, a little richer than the others, and delicious, and ready. Santé!

Critic Reviews
"From an Adelaide Hills vineyard outside Shaw + Smith's usual remit, this time from the Echunga district, vinified in neutral concrete vats using a mix of whole berries and 15% whole bunches. A lighter-bodied style, redolent with bright plum fruit, offset with a subtle background of wood and stems, underpinned by a gentle spice and earthiness. Quite delicious and immensely drinkable." - Tony Love (Halliday Wine Companion)

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you.
