2025 Shaw + Smith Sauvignon Blanc

Shaw + Smith’s Sauvignon Blanc is one of the most recognisable white wines in the country, and the 2025 release is right on form - clean, bright and refreshingly precise. Made entirely from Adelaide Hills fruit, it’s a snapshot of cool-climate winemaking done with discipline and a light touch.

The fruit is handpicked and gently pressed, with fermentation kept cool and clean to lock in flavour and energy. No oak, no distractions - just focus on texture, balance and purity. The 2025 vintage had a mild growing season, giving grapes with great flavour at modest alcohol and crisp natural acidity.

It’s not aiming for wild or edgy - it’s about clarity, drive and drinkability. Fresh citrus, some passionfruit, maybe a little herbal twist, all neatly tucked in. Built to drink young, and very hard to stop at one glass.

"Apple, pear, tropical fruit and citrus flavours, all whispered with lemongrass... punches of flavour but none of them are at your face."
