Shaw and Smith Sauvignon Blanc 2001

Adelaide Hills, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide, South Australia, AustraliaCousins Martin Shaw and Michael Hill-Smith, champions of Adelaide Hills fruit, now have their own facility to produce their beloved racy sauvignon. Looked for a mix of canned jalapeno pepper, grapefruit rind, and passion fruit leaf with gooseberry aromas. Round, slightly oily textured with good acidity. Asparagus, jalapeno, gooseberry and grapefruit rind flavours. Nice balance but fairly herbaceous and very crisp on the finish.Tasted: 30 October 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
