SHAW AND SMITH

Shaw + Smith Winery is one of the most respected names in Australian wine, located at  the picturesque Adelaide Hills of South Australia. Founded in 1989 by cousins Martin Shaw and Michael Hill-Smith MW, the winery was established with a clear vision: to produce wines that reflect the cool-climate elegance and unique terroir of the Adelaide Hills. Over the decades, Shaw + Smith has built a stellar reputation both in Australia and internationally for crafting refined, expressive wines that combine purity, balance, and finesse.

The winery focuses on four main varieties — Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Shiraz, and Pinot Noir — all of which thrive in the region’s elevated, temperate environment. Its Sauvignon Blanc is often cited as one of Australia’s finest, celebrated for its vibrancy and clarity of fruit.

Committed to quality over quantity, Shaw + Smith continues to champion sustainable viticulture and minimal intervention, ensuring each wine expresses the individuality of its site. The brand has come to embody the modern Australian approach to winemaking — blending technical excellence with a deep respect for terroir. For visitors or collectors seeking a true expression of the Adelaide Hills’ cool-climate character, Shaw + Smith remains an essential and enduring benchmark.
