Martin Shaw and Michael Hall Smith are the two cousins behind the Shaw and Smith label which they founded in 1989. Michael Hall Smith is Australia’s first ever Master of Wine, a title which is held by only a few hundred individuals in the world, while Martin Shaw has made wine all over the world as a “flying winemaker” consulting for a variety of different wineries. The pair decided to found their own winery after recognising the potential of this corner of the Adelaide Hills where the cool climate is ideal for premium viticulture.
First made some 30 years ago during the early days of Shaw and Smith, their iconic Sauvignon Blanc has today become known as the benchmark for Australian Sauvignon. Grapes are sourced from the estate’s Lenswood and Balhannah vineyards along with small amounts from partner growers. The fruit is picked by hand to maintain quality and then fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and aromatics.
The telltale feature of this wine is a distinctive pink grapefruit character along with a well-rounded texture, medium body and bright streak of acidity. On the nose there are hints of lemon zest and freshly-cut grass while the first sip reveals mouthwatering freshness and a pure, clean finish.

Shaw and Smith Sauvignon Blanc 2023
overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
