2005 Shaw + Smith M3 Chardonnay Reviews

JAMES HALLIDAY Top 100 Wines

“This classy wine receives the full treatment: hand-picked, whole bunch pressed, barrel-fermented, lees-stirred and malolactic fermented. Glowing yellow-green, the winemaker inputs simply serve to frame the fig, melon and nectarine fruit running through to a long finish.”

“Highly recommended beautifully restrained subtle and minerally, yet possessed of considerable power. The palate has a delightfully creamy texture allied to a pleasing grip which makes it taut and balanced. Masterly winemaking.”

“Seriously stunning, finely balanced chardonnay. Complex and elegant. Cashews, spice, a hint of toast and lemons. Very fine.”

QLD Courier Mail, January 2007

WINSOR DOBBIN

“A lean, elegant, new direction chardonnay with stone fruit flavours on a complex palate. In white burgundy style, perfect with seafood.”
