Shaw and Smith Chardonnay M3 Vineyard 2013

Adelaide Hills, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide, South Australia, AustraliaShaw + Smith winery was founded in 1989 by Michael Hill Smith (of Yalumba) and Martin Shaw (his cousin, a well-travelled wine consultant) with the goal of producing elegant and refined wines from the cool Adelaide Hills. Mission accomplished. Whole bunch press and wild ferment adds tactile complexities to this alluring, medium bodied white. Fine cream, apple and pear across the finessed palate, textured with lees and stone. Leaner edged, with vibrant acid spine structure supporting the ripe, pure fruited core. Fresh and lively on the lingering finish. This is lovely now, but will continue to gain in depth over 5+ years. If you can't wait, pour with halibut, sablefish and fresh spring vegetables.Tasted: 22 January 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
