The M3 Chardonnay 2024 is elegant yet expressive, opening with vibrant notes of nectarine, lemon pith and white stone fruit. The palate shows drive and texture, with fine acidity and the unmistakable M3 concentration sitting confidently at the wine’s core.

Sourced predominantly from cool, high-altitude vineyards in Lenswood, Piccadilly and Lobethal, the 2024 season delivered low yields and excellent fruit intensity. A challenging flowering period produced smaller bunches, while a mild ripening window and well-timed rain helped preserve natural acidity and flavour.

Hand-picked fruit is whole-bunch pressed and fermented in French oak, where it rests for nine months, building structure, depth and finesse. The final blend brings together the best parcels to create a Chardonnay of purity, line and impressive balance—refined, powerful and superbly crafted.
