Shaw and Smith M3 Vineyard Chardonnay Half 2023 is a notable expression of the Adelaide Hills, reflecting meticulous vineyard practices from one of Australia`s esteemed producers, founded in 1989 by Adam Wadewitz and Martin Shaw. This Chardonnay offers a soft gold hue, with aromas of fresh citrus, stone fruit and underlying complexity from oak maturation. On the palate, it reveals a medium-bodied profile, characterised by a balanced acidity that leads to a crisp, dry finish.

The 2023 M3 Chardonnay leads with pressed flowers, curry leaf and iodine/oyster shell characters through the finish. The acidity is piercing—fearsome even—while the sulfides through the finish are angular and hard. This is traditionally a creamy, nutty, svelte wine, and I assume it will head in this direction given a year or so in bottle. Winemaker Adam Wadewitz is a proven wiz with Chardonnay—think of the Single Vineyard Shaw + Smith or the Tolpuddle wine—and so I have full confidence in this wine to pull together. For now, it is all about pineapple husk, tatami mat, apricot kernel and new paper notebook. 12.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. - Erin Larkin

Dairy nose and clean, sleek fruit but no great difference from a raft of other Oz Chardonnays. Competent but not thrilling. (JR)
