Shaw + Smith
Shaw + Smith is a Mattinson 10-Star Winery — Campbell Mattinson's highest honour.
Adelaide Hills.
It built an outstanding reputation from the start – and has done nothing since but enhance it.
The case.
Shaw + Smith doesn’t chase noise; it chases precision. From carefully chosen Adelaide Hills sites, it delivers wines that are tight, clear-spoken and regionally honest. Its Sauvignon Blanc is an enduring favourite; it’s M3 Chardonnay a quality rocket; it’s shiraz a regular on annual ‘best Australian wines’ list. Everything at Shaw + Smith is considered: farming, picking dates, winemaking choices. The result is wines that drink beautifully young, age well, and rarely if ever miss. Quality isn’t a moment at Shaw + Smith; it’s the default setting.
The wines that prove the case.
Shaw + Smith Balhannah Shiraz 2023 (Adelaide Hills): There’s a logic to everything here; a motivation to the way each flavour bounces from one to the next. This impression is aided by the svelte, luxury nature of the texture.
Shaw + Smith Lenswood Chardonnay 2024 (Adelaide Hills): If you’re a lover of chardonnay this wine is enough to make you want to renew your vows.
Shaw + Smith M3 Chardonnay 2024 (Adelaide Hills): Ultra long and ultra engaging.
Shaw + Smith M3 CHardonnay 2019 (Adelaide Hills): Winefront.
