Australia’s cult Sauvignon Blanc is back 🥭🌿 

The 2025 Shaw + Smith Sauvignon Blanc is Australia’s answer to NZ Sauvignon Blanc and everything we’ve come to expect from this Adelaide Hills favourite—zesty, vibrant, and downright addictive. 

This vintage bursts with tropical fruit, passionfruit, guava, lime zest and crunchy green apple, balanced by bright acidity and a clean, mineral finish. Grown in cool-climate vineyards and crafted with precision, it's textbook modern Aussie Sauv Blanc—and a benchmark for the style. 

Fresh, expressive, and ready to drink now—this one never sticks around for long.

What the experts say about this wine

If you rock up to the wine fridge at your local and grab this as your staple, how are you doing? Not bad, I’d say. You get fruit flavour served squeaky clean. You get a slip of texture, like white grape skins, soft but with a bit of grab. You get apple, pear, tropical fruit and citrus flavours, all whispered with lemongrass. It throws punches of flavour but none of them are at your face.

Pale, almost colourless appearance in the glass; fresh, reserved and attractive aromas of fresh salad greens, cut radish, lantana and kiwi-fruit. Delicate palate with life and verve, plenty of fruit which is still delicate and reserved and will undoubtedly fill out further in the coming months. The wine is dry on the finish and aftertaste with a little texture from phenolics at the core, finishing with good persistence.
