Product Description

Critics Score: 96

Publication: James Suckling

Drinking Dates: Now-2025

The 2018 M3 chardonnay is a clever wine that will impress the most discerning chardonnay palates, as well as delivering endless drinking pleasure all round. Aromas of white peaches, grilled hazelnuts, lemons, praline and gun flint give way to a palate that has a big mouthful of peaches and citrus fruit. This is big on flavor and refreshment. Drink over the next six years.

International Wine Challenge 2020

Established in 1989 by Martin Shaw and Michael Hill Smith MW, Shaw + Smith's aim is to make contemporary, high quality wines that stand among the best of their type in Australia. The wines are made exclusively from fruit grown in the Adelaide Hills, one of Australia's coolest and most exciting regions. Shaw + Smith specialise in grape varieties suited to cooler climates, such as Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, and also make outstanding wines from Shiraz and Pinot Noir.

Fruit was predominantly sourced from the Shaw + Smith vineyard at Lenswood, which was planted in 1999 and purchased by Martin and Michael in 2012. Undulating with east and west facing aspects at 455 - 500 metres above sea level, the soils are brown loams over clay with broken shale on the ridges. Low yields were achieved by aggressive pruning and pre-harvest bunch thinning. All fruit was hand picked to avoid any fruit damage.
