A benchmark Chardonnay from the cool heights of the Adelaide Hills, the 2025 M3 continues to walk that fine line between precision and quiet generosity. Sourced from elevated sites and shaped with restraint, it is a wine built on clarity, energy, and detail.

The nose opens with citrus blossom, white peach, and nectarine, layered with grapefruit zest, a touch of flint, and a gentle almond and biscuit nuance from time in oak. There is both freshness and depth, the aromatics unfolding with calm confidence.

On the palate, it is taut yet textural, driven by lemon curd, stone fruit, and a fine mineral line. Bright natural acidity carries the wine with precision, while careful oak and lees work bring a subtle creaminess that never overwhelms the fruit. It holds tension beautifully, balancing generosity with structure.

The finish is long, composed, and mineral, with lingering citrus, soft spice, and a quiet savoury edge.

A Chardonnay that feels both composed and alive — where power is refined into finesse, and every element sits exactly where it should.
