Shaw and Smith Chardonnay M3 Vineyard 2010
Adelaide Hills, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide, South Australia, AustraliaContinuing on a cooler style, this offers grassy, lime, green apple, seaweed, matchstick, butter and light vanilla and lees aromas. Dry, fresh, juicy and creamy palate with higher acidity. Vanilla, lemon custard, green apple, butter, nutty lees and nectarine skin flavours. A bit buttery on the finish but good texture and complexity to improve over the next 2-5 years. "M3" is named after brothers Michael and Matthew Hill Smith and cousin Martin Shaw.Tasted: 14 April 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $44.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Winspeer / Altovin |
