Shaw + Smith Balhannah Vineyard Shiraz 2018

Adelaide Hills, Australia

Shaw + Smith winery was built in 2000 giving us the ability to whole-bunch press chilled grapes for the first time, and underpinning the evolution of style from that first M3 Chardonnay vintage in 2000 through to the present day. The most significant event since then came in 2012 with the purchase of the Lenswood vineyard.

Hand picked, hand sorted and fermented as whole berries and whole bunches (around 70%), in open fermenters, with gentle plunging and minimal working. Aged in new (30%) and used 500 litre French oak puncheons for 14 months. Unfiltered and unfined.

A complex, finely-textured Shiraz expressing the conditions of each vintage and the character of a unique vineyard site. Pepper and spice with lifted florals, a hallmark of Balhannah fruit. A balanced wine, elegant and complex, with amazing length.

14.5% ABV / 750ml

澳洲亞得萊德山

Shaw + Smith酒莊建於2000年，使我們有能力第一次整串壓制冷凍葡萄，從2000年第一個M3霞多麗葡萄收成的風格演變到現在。此後最重要的事件是在2012年購買了Lenswood葡萄園。

手工採摘，手工分選，整串和整串發酵（約70％），在開放式發酵器中，輕輕攪拌和最少的操作。在新的（30％）和使用過的500升法國橡木桶中陳釀14個月。未經過濾和未經過濁。

這是一款複雜，質地精細的西拉葡萄酒，表現了每個葡萄收成的條件和獨特葡萄園的特性。胡椒和香料的味道，帶有Balhannah水果的標誌性提升花香。這是一款平衡，優雅且複雜的葡萄酒，具有驚人的持久度。
