BC Collector - Shaw + Smith M3 Chardonnay

TRIALTO | January 14th 2022

Unquestionably One of Australia's Greatest Chardonnays!

Shaw + Smith M3 Chardonnay - Back in stock!

Critics agree this is one of the great white wines from Australia. Routinely, scoring amongst the best Chardonnays each vintage. If you love textured, nervy fresh Chardonnays this is a wine that belongs in your cellar. When compared to its peers (Penfolds Yattarna, Leeuwin Estate, Giaconda) it is also incredible value!

August 2021

Sourced from 3 vineyards in Piccadilly, Lobethal and the estate’s high-elevation Lenswood block. Whole-bunch pressed, fermented and matured on lees in French barriques and puncheons. The first thing that strikes you is an elegance that is so fundamental to the style and respectful to the elite fruit within. The faintest of oak lifts adds a complexity to start, but the energy and concentration of the fruit become the prime focus on the palate. It's all about chardonnay's finest flavours and a vibrant acidity to drive it long into the future.

June 2021

Beautiful elegance and purity, a wonderfully harmonious assemblage of the richness of white peach, the crunch of grapefruit, the complexity of subtle struck flint reduction and the understated support of classy French oak. Brilliant zest and verve of crystalline acidity define an outstanding finish of sensational lineand length.

April 2021

Savoury notes take the lead in a striking tenor voice. Lacks the feistiness of previous vintages, but 2020 was hardly kind in the Hills. Clean, firm, proud and very well built, this is the elegant, talented diplomat that shows no emotion.
