Winemaker's Comments: Shaw and Smith is an alliance between cousins Martin Shaw and Michael Hill- Smith. Their aim is to make contemporary, high quality wines that are outstanding examples of their type made from grapes grown in the Adelaide Hills. Shaw and Smith specialize in grape varieties suited to the cooler climate of the Adelaide Hills, sauvignon blanc, chardonnay and shiraz. The Adelaide Hills has now proven it can make truly exciting spicy Shiraz. The key is careful site selection, low yields and restrained use of oak. The blend component from the warmer sub-area of Macclesfi eld gives structure and richness, whilst Balhannah contributes spiciness and perfume. A vibrant, modern interpretation of Australian Shiraz. The 2007 growing season was warmer than usual. Spring frosts affected some parts of the Adelaide Hills, hence quantities were down slightly Shiraz grapes ripened slowly and evenly resulting in intense colour, pepper-spice fl avours and great intensity. Crop levels were limited to 2kg per vine. Colour Deep red. Bouquet/Palate Shaw + Smith Shiraz vibrant and modern in style. The wine displays distinctive spice and pepper characters. It is rich and juicy, yet elegant. Similar to the highly regarded 2006 vintage but with greater concentration and palate weight. Cellaring Has the concentration and structure to develop fi ne tertiary characters in bottle over the next 10 years. Winemaker Martin Shaw and Darryl Catlin Blend: Shiraz Region: Adelaide Hills, South Australia 14% ALC/VOL Cellaring Potential: Will reward with 10 years in the cellar
