Product Notes

Shaw and Smith's Lenswood Vineyard Adelaide Hills Chardonnay is a masterstroke of Australian winemaking. Grown in the cool, elevated regions of Adelaide Hills, the terroir imparts an elegant complexity to the wine's profile. It boasts a refined bouquet of white flowers, mingled with notes of peach and citrus. On the palate, it presents an excellent balance between crisp acidity and structured minerality, with a hint of French oak undertones adding depth. The striking finish leaves a lingering taste of stone fruit and spice. Truly, the Lenswood Vineyard Chardonnay is a sublime exemplification of Shaw and Smith's wine mastery.

Tasting Notes

A fine-boned single vineyard Chardonnay, with juicy acid and excellent depth of flavour including ripe peach, nectarine and white flowers. Lifted flint notes lead to an opulent palate with great texture and striking natural acidity that expertly balances the intensity of flavour.
