The palate is citrus-driven, with flavours of grapefruit and lemon. Fine, flinty layers and a touch of almond meal add depth and texture through the mid-palate while bright acidity (impressive for the warmer season!) gives length and precision.

Here they spend 9 months, undergoing primary and secondary (malolactic) fermentation. Batches are then blended in stainless steel vats before bottling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eShaw + Smith was established in 1989 by cousins Michael Hill Smith MW and Martin Shaw. They make wines exclusively from the Adelaide Hills, from varieties that suit the cooler climate: Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Shiraz. Shaw + Smith own two vineyards, in Lenswood and Balhannah. Growing the best possible grapes, managing vineyards sustainably, and valuing vine health, soil health, and low yields are central to the Shaw + Smith approach. In the pursuit of quality, all grapes continue to be hand-picked, and the wines are fermented, aged and bottled on site at Balhannah. The wines are vibrant, medium bodied expressions of their varieties that reflect their sites and region. Shaw + Smith’s first vintage was in 1990, and the early vintages were made at Wirra Wirra and Petaluma. In 1999 they purchased a property at Balhannah, where they planted vines, and built the winery and tasting room in time for the 2000 vintage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY: \u003c\/strong\u003eAustralia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eREGION:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eAdelaide Hills, South Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eVARIETAL: \u003c\/b\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhite\u003c\/span\u003e Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eMartin Shaw \u0026amp; Adam Wadewitz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCLASSIFICATION: \u003c\/b\u003eSustainable Farming, Vegan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCLOSURE:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eScrewcap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eABV%:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e13%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSIZE:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Heritage Wine Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44000502382741,"sku":"2878","price":66.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/P1260007.jpg?v=1778480597","url":"https:\/\/theheritageperth.com.au\/products\/shaw-smith-m3-chardonnay-2025-gift-boxed","provider":"The Heritage Perth","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
