Shaw and Smith Chardonnay M3 Vineyard 2007
Adelaide Hills, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide, South Australia, AustraliaThe Shaw and Smith "M3" Chardonnay is named after the partners: brothers Michael and Matthew Hill Smith along with cousin and winemaker Martin Shaw. The M3 2007 is the 7th version of this Adelaide Hills wine and it's as far in style from the first version as it gets. From overblown to Burgundy the smoke and oak has been trade in for more mineral, citrus and oatmeal flavours and aromas with flecks of guava, nectarine skin honey with a creamy texture in the back end. It has a beautiful long delicate, but flavourful, finish. Very impressive.Tasted: 25 October 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $44.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Winspeer / Altovin |
