2022 | Shaw + Smith M3 Chardonnay | Adelaide Hills Ridgecrest especially ripe pears and limeA sleek, mid weighted & very contemporary chardonnay, embellishing a pungent mineral chassis with roasted cashew, nougat and curdy creaminess. Vanilla cedar oak, an integrated framework. Apricot pith, white peach and nectarine, too. The acidity, palpably natural of feel and really juicy, towing impressive length. One of the better recent iterations of this rightly popular cuvee. 93 Pts James Suckling
