Shaw & Smith Lenswood Vineyard Chardonnay 2024 Blanc de Noirs Deep purple-crimson

Deep purple-crimson

We picked the entire estate in 22 days instead of the 29-30 that is more typical

where Palmer has 80 hectares

It carefully reins in the soaring power of Nebbiolo and whittles it down to extreme finesse and precision

disguised austerity

Shaw & Smith Lenswood Vineyard Chardonnay 2024 Blanc de Noirs Deep purple-crimsonA magic moment kind of wine. Scintillating acidity, a gentle, savoury underbelly, crisp stone fruit and green apple characters, a distinct weave of saline minerality with touches of fino sherry and preserved lemon freshness. Add in nougat and ginger snap biscuit, but all of that with an immense sense of fruit purity, too. Savoury, serious, vivid and refreshing in the same breath. A tour de force of chardonnay. Brilliant.
