Shaw + Smith Shiraz is a medium bodied cool-climate Shiraz, in which balance is more important than power.  The 2015 vintage is true to style with particular opulence and generosity:  a reflection of an excellent warm yet even season.

A perfumed Shiraz with aromatics of florals and cherry, the palate shows bright fruit in the red fruits spectrum and spice notes of dried herbs including thyme.

Natural tannins and a graphite-like earthiness contribute to a savoury core that underpins the great depth and complexity of this wine. 

The 2015 shiraz has the concentration and structure to develop fine tertiary characters in bottle over the next 15 years.
