Shaw + Smith M3 Chardonnay 2013 (Adelaide Hills, SA)
12.5%, Screwcap, $45

There’s been a move towards a more delicate style of M3 in recent times, with less malo and an emphasis on minerality. Mostly it works, sometimes can be a bit lean – onwards and upwards regardless.
Overall this is less convincing and more broadly set than the storming 2012, but there’s a sense of just how carefully made a wine this is. High quality Chardonnay from a mixed vintage for Hills whites.
