Shaw & Smith Riesling 2023

A Riesling that is both intense and textural. Restrained and fine, this 2023 delivers the spine-tingling acid and powerful extract that is sure to excite Riesling lovers. Flavours of citrus zest, red apple skin, and yuzu linger for an age.

Sourced from high and cool sites in Lenswood and Mt Torrens. The grapes were all hand picked. Half were whole bunch pressed and half were crushed and pressed, each fermented separately. The wine was blended and then spent four months on lees prior to bottling.

Shaw + Smith have a long standing love of Riesling and believe the Adelaide Hills can produce fine examples with ageing potential. Site is most important, so much so that Shaw + Smith took a Riesling hiatus from 2010 - 2013, until preferred sites were found in Lenswood was selected in 2014.
