Shaw and Smith Riesling 2024
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.
Seafood, especially oysters, grilled prawns, and light salads.
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.
