Shaw and Smith was founded in 1989 when two winemaking cousins, Martin Shaw and Michael Hall Smith, teamed up to found their very own winery. Shaw has made wine all over the world and even set up the Flying Winemakers Network to support winemaking consultants like himself. Smith is Australia’s first Master of Wine, having completed a series of extremely tough exams to earn the title shared by just a few hundred others in the world.
The duo recognised the potential of two prime vineyards in the cool climate Adelaide Hills to create elegant, perfectly-balanced wines like this stunning Chardonnay. Much of the fruit used to make this wine comes from the excellent Lenswood vineyard which is set at high altitude and gives very low yields. The fruit is harvested by hand and the must is then fermented in the barrel primarily using wild yeasts. The young wine is then matured in the barrel for 9 months with regular lees stirring.
Ripe peach, apricot and citrus burst out of the glass, while the first sip offers a balanced flavour profile with a rich, creamy texture, medium body, and bright streak of freshness. The rich stone fruit and lemon zest notes linger long on the tongue, mingling with hints of biscuit and toast from the ageing.

Shaw and Smith M3 Chardonnay 2022
overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
