The 2024 Shaw + Smith M3 Chardonnay Half Bottle (375ml) is a benchmark cool-climate Adelaide Hills Chardonnay presented in a convenient half-bottle format, offering elegance, precision and complexity in a smaller serving size. The nose is vibrant and expressive, revealing white peach, nectarine and citrus layered with flint, almond meal, subtle struck-match complexity and delicate French oak spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with creamy texture, bright acidity and beautifully balanced stone fruit flavours supported by mineral freshness and savoury lees character. The finish is long, refined and beautifully poised, showcasing the finesse and purity that make M3 one of Australia’s leading Chardonnays.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent option for customers looking to enjoy a premium Chardonnay without opening a full bottle — perfect for casual dining, gifting or midweek enjoyment. Ideal with grilled seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta or soft cheeses. Drink now or cellar over the next 5–8 years for added depth and complexity.
