Shaw + Smith M3 Chardonnay Rose ChampagneThis wine opens with intense aromas of white flowers, nectarine and lemon pith. Aiming for elegance, restraint and the ability to age, the acidity is bright and there is generosity of flavour. This wine opens with intense aromas of white flowers and lemon blossom. Typically, the 'M3' shows citrus and nectarine notes. Aiming for elegance, restraint and the ability to age, the acidity is bright and there is generosity of flavour. Established in 1989 by
low-yielding Bobal vines on the Fuenteseca estate
representing McLaren Vale's first ever blend combining the (black) Shiraz and its white partner
Secondly yields were down
UK stock receives an additional 6 months post-disgorgement ageing so it is ready to drink upon release but cellaring for a few years will reveal greater depths
Rather than blending to make more wine
allowing the wines and pressings to integrate harmoniously through ageing
This wine has a perfumed nose with hints of lemon
The must spent time on the skins to boost the tannic structure and aromatics of the wine
harmonious and lively Champagne
Full bodied being very textural
white meats or even fish - serve slightly chilled
Mallorca's second largest producer
