Shaw + Smith Balhannah Vineyard Shiraz

The single vineyard ‘Balhannah’ Shiraz is from a north-facing block behind the winery. Whole bunch fermentation and ageing in 500-litre French oak puncheons has resulted in a fragrant, intense and lively cool-climate Shiraz. The ironstone soils produce a mid-weight Shiraz with pepper and spice perfumes on the nose that evokes the best of Côte-Rôtie. The 2021 vintage won four major awards at the 2024 IWC awards, including the highly coveted Australian Red Trophy and Sustainable Trophy.
