SHAW + SMITH, Balhannah Vineyard` 6x75cl

🍷 Shaw + Smith – Balhannah Vineyard Shiraz
Australia | Adelaide Hills | Single Vineyard | 100% Shiraz
Style: Still Red Wine | Elegant and Cool-Climate Structured
Winemaking: Hand-picked and fermented with a portion of whole bunches to add aromatic lift and fine tannin. Aged in French oak (30% new) for finesse and integration, highlighting purity and vineyard character.
Farming: From the estate's Balhannah Vineyard in the Adelaide Hills, where high altitude, rocky soils, and cool conditions produce Shiraz of remarkable restraint, balance, and depth.

🌌 A sculpted cool-climate Shiraz—refined, dark-fruited, and beautifully composed.

👁 In the Glass:
Deep crimson with violet edges—concentrated and luminous.

👃 On the Nose:
Perfumed and precise. Black cherry, plum, and blueberry notes lead into hints of black pepper, graphite, and violets, underpinned by a whisper of fine oak spice.

👅 On the Palate:
Focused and textural. A core of dark fruit unfolds over firm yet silky tannins, with layers of pepper, olive tapenade, and savoury spice. Bright acidity lends energy to a long, cool, mineral-laced finish.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Pair with roasted duck, lamb with rosemary, grilled eggplant, or charred octopus. A Shiraz for elegant dishes and thoughtful pairings.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Impressive now, with the structure to age gracefully for 10–15 years.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Balhannah Vineyard Shiraz is a benchmark for cool-climate Australian Syrah—poised, powerful, and pure. A single-vineyard wine that speaks clearly of place, precision, and pedigree.
