Description
Since purchasing the vineyard in 2012, significant investments have been made to further enhance the site. It had always shown potential for a single site wine and in 2014 a small amount was selected for the first ‘Lenswood Vineyard’ Chardonnay.
A fine boned Chardonnay that reflects the conditions of the vintage and the character of this unique vineyard site. White flower and rich ripe fruits of peach and nectarine on the nose. Lifted flinty notes lead to an opulent palate. Focused and fine with length and drive on the finish.
"The gorgeous, seductive nose is so complex – blossom, vegetal, fleshy, mineral, forest – that it’s a challenge to figure out exactly how so many elements to the bouquet are drawn together. Lean white peach forms the core of the palate, while the hint of flint and granite lick at the edges, but a rich, running stream of mid-palate flavour intrigues and draws you back in for another look." (Decanter, 97/100)
