      The Shaw + Smith Lenswood Vineyard Chardonnay 2023 is a stunning expression of cool-climate Chardonnay from the heart of the Adelaide Hills. This vintage is defined by a late, cool, and wet growing season, heavily influenced by La Niña, resulting in a wine of exceptional intensity and remarkable depth. The unique combination of altitude, terroir, and climate at the estate vineyard in Lenswood has created a Chardonnay that showcases the distinct, cool-season flavours the region is renowned for.

      The 2023 vintage is a true testament to Shaw + Smith's commitment to producing wines of exceptional purity and finesse. Hand-picked from low-yielding vines, this Chardonnay undergoes a meticulous vinification process. The fruit is gently whole-bunch pressed, fermented in 500-litre puncheons (30% new), and undergoes full malolactic fermentation. After 10 months of aging in oak, the wine is rested in tank before being bottled, allowing the wine to harmonise and develop complexity.

      Shaw + Smith Lenswood Vineyard Chardonnay 2023
      Shaw + Smith

      Shaw + Smith was founded in 1989 by cousins Michael Hill Smith MW and Martin Shaw, with a focus on producing wines that reflect the cooler climate of the Adelaide Hills. They specialise in varieties that thrive in the region, including Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Shiraz. The winery owns three vineyards located in Lenswood, Piccadilly, and Balhannah, each carefully managed to yield the best possible fruit.

      With a commitment to sustainability, Shaw + Smith emphasises vine and soil health while maintaining low yields. This hands-on approach, along with state-of-the-art facilities at their Balhannah winery, ensures complete control over the winemaking process, allowing the team to capture vibrant, modern expressions of their varieties and terroir.

      Since their first vintage in 1990, Shaw + Smith has grown into one of Australia’s most respected wineries. Their investment in a state-of-the-art winery and tasting room, completed in 2000, has allowed them to continue raising the bar in quality and innovation.

      Tasting notes

      NOSE
      Floral, Creamy, Fresh

      A captivating bouquet of star jasmine blooms, snow pea tendrils, and white peach fuzz, intertwined with creamy Greek yogurt richness. Subtle hints of oyster mushroom, cheese rind savouriness, and raw cashews add layers of complexity, creating an intriguing aromatic profile.

      PALATE
      Intense, Elegant, Mineral

      Opulent flavours of ginger and ripe stone fruit. The long, flavoursome finish reveals the wine's remarkable depth and extract, attributed to the long ripening season. A perfect balance of fresh acidity and rich texture defines the experience, making this wine both powerful and refined.

      FINISH
      Long, Savoury, Crisp

      Persistent and clean, with a refreshing minerality and a subtle savoury edge, leading to a lingering, mouthwatering aftertaste that showcases the wine's exceptional balance and complexity.
