🌟 A benchmark cool-climate Chardonnay—pure, precise, and elegantly textured.

👁 In the Glass:
Pale straw with green reflections—vibrant and luminous.

👃 On the Nose:
Lifted and refined. Aromas of white peach, grapefruit zest, and lemon blossom are layered with subtle notes of flint, cashew, and wet stone. Focused and mineral.

👅 On the Palate:
Taut and elegant. Crisp citrus and stone fruit are wrapped in a fine, chalky texture, with beautifully integrated oak adding depth without weight. The acidity is bright and linear, driving a long, saline finish.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Superb with oysters, poached lobster, roast chicken with tarragon, or a creamy leek tart. Also excellent with fresh goat cheese or simply enjoyed on its own.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Drink now for its vibrancy or cellar for 6–8 years to gain further complexity, nutty depth, and a more rounded texture.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Lenswood Vineyard Chardonnay is Shaw + Smith at its most refined—a wine of clarity, tension, and quiet power. A cool-climate classic with world-class finesse.
