2009 Shaw & Smith M3 Chardonnay

Fruit for the 2009 vintage was sourced primarily from the Shaw and Smith M3 Vineyard at Woodside. The vineyard was planted in 1995 and takes its name from owners Martin Shaw, Michael and Matthew Hill Smith.

A magnificent M3 Chardonnay.
Brilliant pale straw colour with watery hue. The nose displays attractive notes of white peach, cashew and spicy oak followed by a hint of nougat and citrus as end notes. Excellent intensity and varietal character. Medium bodied with a creamy texture, the palate delivers mouthfilling flavours of white peach and melon followed by some cashew, spice and a hint of nougat. Clean, dry finish displaying outstanding persistence. Very long aftertaste of cashew, white peach, nougat and spice.
Drink over the next 4-5 years. (2011-2016)
Alc 13.5%
