Shaw & Smith M3 Chardonnay 2021

Producer:: Shaw & Smith M3 Chardonnay 2021
Grape:: Chardonnay
Alcohol:: 13%

Rating:: JS 96, ,

Aiming for elegance, restraint and the ability to age, acid is bright and there’s generosity of flavour. Typically it shows white flowers, citrus, and nectarine notes. The 2016 vintage had even ripening conditions, and our elevated sites gave us flavoursome, precise Chardonnay.

An immediate sense of high quality. Jeez, this smells decadent in stone fruit and citrus, rich with spicy wood, lively with flinty mineral character. For your best roast chicken ever.

Powerful flavours of lemon, lime and pink grapefruit drive the palate. Generous fruit flavours balanced with precise natural acidity and ripe phenolics, create tension that will make your palate salivate.

Torbreck The Struie 2020

The Struie has a wonderfully healthy sheen and great viscosity. The initial aromas of black raspberries, Creme de cacao. Full bodied and tightly structured the palate shows perfect ripeness and brooding richness along with a razor-like spine of beautifully integrated acidity and fine tannin that will greatly reward those with the patience to cellar it.

This Amarone is a complex, elegant and velvety wine with great structure. It is elegant and spicy with hints of cherry, dry fruit and prunes. Rounded, velvety, enveloping and soft.
