Shaw & Smith M3 Chardonnay

Shaw & Smith M3 Chardonnay is a cool-climate Adelaide Hills white that pairs precision with subtle complexity. It opens with bright orchard fruit—white peach, pear, and citrus—backed by refined oak and a delicate lees texture. The wine stays buoyant on the palate with crisp acidity and a mineral, long finish. A versatile match for shellfish, grilled fish, roasted chicken, or cream-based pastas; best enjoyed in its youth with the potential for short-term aging. Tasting Notes - Aroma: White peach, pear, green apple, lemon zest; faint vanilla and light toasty notes; subtle lees influence. - Palate: Medium-bodied, vibrant acidity; flavors of citrus, white peach, and pear; creamy mouthfeel from lees; restrained oak spice. - Finish: Long and mineral-driven, with a clean citrus-laced aftertaste.
