Shaw + Smith Riesling
Wine Description
Shaw + Smith has a long standing love of Riesling and believes the Adelaide Hills produces fine examples with ageing potential. Site is most important, so much so that Shaw + Smith took a Riesling hiatus from 2010 to 2013, until preferred sites were found in 2014. Intense and textural, the Shaw + Smith Riesling is produced using sustainable winemaking practices and is suitable for vegans.

Analytical Data
Wine Production
The grapes are all hand picked. Half are whole bunch pressed and half are crushed and pressed, each fermented separately. The wine is blended and spends four months on lees prior to bottling.
About the Vineyard
The grapes are all hand-picked from high and cool sites in Lenswood and Mt Torrens in the Adelaide Hills region. With higher elevation and higher rainfall than the surrounding Barossa and Eden Valleys, this Riesling has higher acidity and lower alcohol, expressing exciting citrus zest flavors.
