Shaw + Smith Balhannah Shiraz 2018

Critics thoughts -

“Fantastic release. Stunning length, a wide array of flavours, top tier tannin and the (velvety) texture to match. Cloves, nuts, cherry-plum, graphite, woodsmoke. Cool climate profile with a warmth in its heart. I drank a couple of glasses but I was convinced from the first sip. My only real question was whether it was 95 or 96.”  Campbell Mattison Winefront 95 points

From the home vineyard at Shaw + Smith’s Balhannah winery and cellar door, there’s a stunningly attractive ripeness to this wine, dark blue and purple fruit notes with kitchen herbal tweaks adding a heightened gastronomic appeal – dark mint, fennel and rocket pepperiness. Delicious medium-bodied structurals and fine tannins provide an equally sophisticated mouthfeel and finish. Superb wine.”  Tony Love, The Halliday Wine Companion 2021
