Today, Pewsey Vale is considered one of the great Riesling vineyards of the world. Here exists a true alliance between nature and variety.

“My favorite thing about being involved with Pewsey Vale is tasting the wine, wherever I might be, anywhere in the world, and being able to picture the vineyard, and in that wine being able to taste the grapes and understand where they came from .

Shaw + Smith was established in 1989 by cousins Martin Shaw and Michael Hill Smith. Michael had just completed his Master of Wine in the UK, and Martin was running a “flying winemaker” business in Europe when they decided–somewhat on a whim–to make wine together. While a family business, Shaw + Smith is more about a partnership of two cousins with a unified vision and complimentary skills, now joined by a small team of bright, talented people who are dedicated to taking the business forward. Shaw + Smith aims to make exciting, refined wines exclusively from the Adelaide Hills that rank amongst Australia’s best. They specialize in varieties suited to the cooler climate region, namely Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Shiraz.

Following a 50-year-old tradition, the very best barrels from each vintage continue to be selected and tucked away in the museum cellar, and it is from these time capsules the fortified collection is blended each year.

In fact, on Christmas Day 1929, a bottle of Yalumba Four Crown “Port” even found its way onto the table of Sir Douglas Mawson’s Antarctic Expedition.

Yalumba first began making wines at its Angaston winery 170 years ago, and the production of fortified wine has long been part of that history. By the early 1900s, Yalumba was supplying the world with these wines— from the connoisseurs of London’s gentlemen’s clubs to the British Raj in India.

Tolpuddle Vineyard was planted in 1988 in Tasmania’s Coal River Valley. The climate is cool and dry—ideal conditions to grow Chardonnay and Pinot Noir of exceptional quality. It was purchased in 2011 by Michael Hill Smith MW and Martin Shaw, who believe it is one of Australia’s great single vineyards. The wines show great vineyard character, with a core of intense natural acidity, savory fruit flavors, and lots of complexity even when young. The Chardonnay is fine and precise with firm acidity and a combination of lightness of texture and intensity of flavor.

The Le Paradis vineyard in Gualtallary Alto feels like paradise itself to Laura. Le Paradis, grown in deep soil in this cool climate vineyard, has intense mineral, herbal, and berry aromas, subtle oak, and fine tannins.

Domaine Nico is the world’s first extreme high-altitude parcela Pinot Noir, with elevations between 3,675 - 4,921 feet. The extremely small parcelas are all within the Tupungato region. Through Domaine Nico, the Uco Valley proves itself to be a new terroir for the highest quality Pinot Noir.

La Savante and Histoire d’A use whole clusters during fermentation to highlight the wine’s texture and graininess. While La Savante is mineral and vertical with spicy red fruits, Histoire d’A is more generous, due to greater sun exposure, with cinnamon, clove, and perceived sweetness to the tannins.

El Enemigo wines are brought to fruition by Chief Winemaker Alejandro Vigil and Historian Adrianna Catena who seek to honor the European immigrants and winemakers who first settled in Argentina. Alejandro Vigil is a soil expert, a winemaker, and an animal lover. Adrianna Catena, daughter of Nicolás Catena, continues the family legacy of winemaking while pursuing her passion for history. The Gran Enemigo wines are considered the finest in refinement and aging potential.
