2021 Shaw + Smith M3 Chardonnay, Adelaide Hills, Australia Solaia finishing with a pleasant dustingLike Shaw and Smith's Tasmanian label, Tolpuddle, this is a Burgundy influenced Chard with distinct seashell, struck match, grilled melon and preserved lemon characteristics. The midweight palate is slippery and toasty, with a beautiful line of acidity and a long finish. Polished and restrained, this is a class act that's a bargain compared to Burgundy of similar ilk. 94 Pts Wine Enthusiast
