Shaw + Smith M3 Chardonnay 2021

The Shaw + Smith name is synonymous with the Adelaide Hills, being one of the first to plant their winemaking flag in the region. The 2020 vintage was very low yielding, which resulted in great concentration. The cool ripening conditions produced Chardonnay with intense flavours and excellent balance.

Its impeccable self. Flavours of pear and quartz, nectarine and cedar, a gentle floral element, a subtle lactose note. It feels powerful, taut and refined at once. This is not a smack-you-in-the-eyes chardonnay and yet its quality and intensity are clear. As with many of the finest Australian chardonnays now, this will need a year or three from release to start showing its best self. - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, 7 April, 2022, 95 Points
