Shaw + Smith Lenswood Chardonnay 2022 is a cool-climate Australian Chardonnay from the Lenswood subregion of the Adelaide Hills. It offers precise fruit with a pronounced mineral spine and restrained oak, delivering a clean, nervy profile and bright acidity. Aromas of lemon zest, white peach, and green apple lead to a palate of citrus and stone fruit, supported by subtle lees-derived texture. Finishes long and refreshing, making it a versatile match for seafood, poultry, and soft cheeses. Drink now with modest aging potential.
