ADELAIDE HILLS

Located to the east of Adelaide,the Adelaide Hills is part of the Mount Lofty Ranges. Considered a cool-climate region, most vineyards are situated at elevations between 450 to 550 metres. Rainfall is relatively high and spring frosts often pose problems. Hot northerly winds also make bush fires a real threat in the region. Adelaide Hills is a jigsaw of meso-climates, with the best vineyards centred around Piccadilly Valley and Lenswood in protected sites facing north or north-east. Soils are derived from schistic and sedimentary rock; typically well-drained sandy loams over red clay interspersed with schistic gravels. A premium wine-growing region, Adelaide Hills is best known for crisp, lively Sauvignon Blanc and elegant cool climates styles of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Shiraz.

Winery SHAW & SMITH

Cousins Martin Shaw and Michael Hill- Smith collaborated on a dream to make their own wine; this became a reality in 1989. This was an illustrious union, Michael Hill Smith was the first Australian to pass the rigorous Master of Wine exam and Martin Shaw is a winemaker with extensive international experience. Shaw and Smith is a premium boutique winery that focuses on site, quality fruit and varieties that excel in the cool Adelaide Hills. The wines they produce include Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, cool climate Shiraz and Pinot Noir.
