Shaw + Smith Sauvignon Blanc 2022 Review
Cousins Michael Hill Smith MW and Martin Shaw began their winemaking journey in 1989. They have come a long way, and now have a well-established winery and tasting room in Adelaide Hills, Australia, concentrating on cool-climate friendly varieties suited to the terroir. Their Sauvignon Blanc really shows that cool climate vibe with nice balanced green pepper notes and subtle, but tart, fruit notes. The palate has a wonderful balance of savory notes, fruit, and texture. It all comes together seamlessly.
