Why we follow Shaw + Smith
The estate
Founded in 1989 by cousins Martin Shaw and Michael Hill Smith MW, with an estate winery and tasting room at Balhannah and four vineyards across the Adelaide Hills. Adam Wadewitz is chief winemaker, and Wadewitz and David LeMire MW are joint chief executives, with Martin Shaw still involved in winemaking. The estate is known for benchmark cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc, M3 Chardonnay and Shiraz, and more recently for a set of single-vineyard bottlings. Shaw + Smith also owns Tolpuddle Vineyard in Tasmania, which is a separate label.

How allocations are offered
It records which producers and wines interest you, so we know who to contact when a release is confirmed.
Availability depends on what arrives and how many customers are waiting. In some years there is very little to go round.
Our team considers purchase history, genuine interest and intended enjoyment. We would rather a case went to someone who will open it and tell us what they thought than to whoever asked first.
Change what you follow at any time from My allocation requests. Release timing moves with the producer and the vintage, so the months on the release calendar are a guide rather than a promise.
