Flavour Profile
Shaw and Smith began in 1989 when, over a family lunch, cousins Martin Shaw and Michael Hill Smith decided to realise a long-held dream: to make wine together.
They’re based in Adelaide Hills – one of the most vibrant wine regions in Australia, known for its elegant, cool-climate wines. By growing the best possible grapes and managing their vineyards sustainably – focusing on vine health, soil health and low yields – Shaw and Smith have built an enviable reputation for quality. James Halliday rates them at 5 Red Stars, signifying “an outstanding winery regularly producing wines of exemplary quality.”
This glorious white is named after the original M3 vineyard, owned by three Ms: Martin, Michael and Michael’s brother, Matthew. They now source the fruit from throughout the estate – always the best of the vintage. Barrel fermentation with wild yeasts, ageing in oak with lees stirring – it’s a rich, complex white of real class.
James Suckling awards the Shaw and Smith M3 Chardonnay 2023 an outstanding 95 points, commenting: “Wonderfully constructed, showing polished aromas of lime curd, lemon balm, orange blossoms and gun smoke on the nose.”
Perfectly matched with salmon en croute.
