Description

Cool, classic, dry Adelaide Hills Riesling. Casual drinking 101 from Shaw + Smith.

Shaw + Smith’s 2024 Riesling might fly under the radar, but for those in the know, this one’s an absolute gem.

Sourced from the cool, elevated sites of Lenswood and Mt Torrens in the Adelaide Hills, this vintage is a stellar expression of what high-altitude Aussie Riesling can achieve - crisp, bright, and beautifully balanced.

Review
There are notes of musk sticks and pear-filled Danish pastry too. The palate follows on from there and is soft and rounded, with lovely subtle acidity, with the result that the wine is very approachable already, in its extreme youth. There could be a tickle of sweetness helping that balance. Delicious wine.

Review
Fresh and vibrant aromas of orange blossoms, jasmine flowers, lime zest and river stones. The palate is medium-bodied with focused acidity and a generous mouthfeel, giving notes of lemon balm, grapefruit pith, flint and mandarin pith. Its 4 g/L of residual sugar add a nice balance and texture. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

In the glass, it’s as pure as they come, with crystalline notes of lime cordial, orange blossom, and a touch of juicy pear.

The season threw in some challenges, but they worked out in our favour - those small, concentrated bunches delivered Riesling with high acidity and layered flavour. Fermented cool in stainless steel, Shaw + Smith avoid oak and let the pristine fruit do all the talking.
