Shaw + Smith Shiraz 2013 is crafted to be enjoyed upon release but also has the potential to develop further complexity with short-term cellaring over the next decade. It pairs excellently with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses, making it a versatile choice for various dining occasions. The wine was aged for 14 months in French oak, with one-third being new, enhancing its depth and complexity.
