Information sur le domaine

Le projet Shaw + Smith a vu le jour en 1989, au cours d'un long dîner, lorsque les cousins Martin Shaw et Michael Hill Smith ont décidé de concrétiser un rêve qu'ils caressaient depuis longtemps, faire du vin ensemble. Ils produisent un sauvignon blanc, un chardonnay issu d'une sélection parcellaire, un shiraz issu d'un climat frais, et plus récemment, de petites quantités de riesling et de pinot noir. Aussi incroyable que cela puisse paraître, l'année 2009 marque le 20e millésime de...

Ned Goodwin MW, Juillet 2023 (Millésime 2020)

From a relatively close-planted plot on clay, ironstone, quartzite and shale. Whole bunches fermented wild in open tops with minimal agitation. A headily aromatic shiraz with notes of lavender and green olive and an underbelly of verdant herb and mezcal, the legacy of whole bunches in the ferment. Notes of damson plum, red cherry, violet and sarsaparilla trail across a raft of peppery tannins, a bit drying due to the low-yielding year. A whiff of iodine, peat and smoked meat lingers. This will benefit from some patience.

Erin Larkin, Août 2023 (Millésime 2020)

The fruit for this 2020 Balhannah Vineyard Shiraz is, as the name suggests, from the Balhannah vineyard, which was planted in 2005. Balhannah, for those who have not yet had the pleasure of visiting the Adelaide Hills region, is an area within the Adelaide Hills GI, north of Hahndorf. The vineyard is at 380 meters above sea level and is north facing. When I was there in 2022, the vineyard was undergoing layering (a method to increase the density of the plantings of vines. In the mouth, the wine speaks clearly of its whole bunches, which bring an exoticism and chalkiness to the wine. These notes will subdue over time and ensure that the wine remains detailed and complex as it ages. It smells of light fruitcake (the dense, spicy kind), and it is textural, chalky and lingering. The tannins hold the fruit in stasis and encourage it to pace itself out over the long finish. There are notes of clove, star anise, cinnamon, orange peel, sultana, vanilla pod, black tea, cassis and blueberry compote. There is plenty of fruit here in the short term, but I wager this will be at its apogee some time in the future. I'd consider it from 2025 onward. If you are restless in the meantime, try the estate Shiraz. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
