2003 Shaw and Smith M3 Vineyard
Chardonnay

Adelaide Hills

This superb wine showcases the heights in quality that Australian Chardonnay can achieve when it is skilfully grown and vinified. Tight, yet powerful fruit flavours of nectarine and white peach and complexed by stylish oak and lees contact. The result is a multilayered, creamy palate with great depth, length and interest.

This is the type of wine that will shine at its brightest in a polished environment. Complemented by fine glassware, a beautiful meal and good company it will go down as a truly memorable sensory experience.
