The Shaw + Smith Riesling 2025 captures the bright, aromatic character that has made the Adelaide Hills an increasingly important region for high-quality Australian Riesling. Sourced from elevated vineyard sites in Lenswood and surrounding cooler pockets, the fruit benefits from slow ripening conditions that preserve natural acidity and aromatic clarity. Shaw + Smith approaches Riesling with a philosophy of minimal intervention, allowing the fruit and site to speak with transparency. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel to retain freshness and preserve the delicate aromatics that define the variety. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2025 vintage delivers a wine of striking purity, where citrus and floral notes sit over a finely etched mineral backbone. In the glass it shows a pale straw colour with green highlights, signalling youthful vibrancy. Aromatically the wine opens with lime blossom, lemon zest and green apple, supported by subtle floral lift. The palate is crisp and energetic, driven by intense citrus flavours and a bright line of acidity that carries through the finish. This Riesling is both refreshing in its youth and structured enough to develop complexity with careful cellaring, reflecting the elegant restraint that defines Shaw + Smith’s house style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Fresh and aromatic\u003cbr\u003eLifted aromas of lime blossom, lemon zest and green apple with hints of white flowers and delicate citrus peel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Crisp and vibrant\u003cbr\u003eLight-bodied and precise, showing flavours of lime juice, green apple and lemon supported by lively acidity and a fine mineral structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Clean and refreshing\u003cbr\u003eA long, dry finish with lingering citrus brightness and subtle mineral tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Bright lime, citrus blossom and green apple define this lively Adelaide Hills Riesling.
