Lenswood Vineyard Chardonnay 2024

Shaw & Smith er en australsk kultvingård fra Adelaide Hills. Denne Chardonnay kommer fra Lenswood-vinmarken i 500 meters højde, et forholdsvis køligt mikroklima i South Australia. Jordbunden består af lerjord, ler og skalkalksten. Presning af hele klaser, derefter gæring i en blanding af nye og brugte 500 liters egetræsfade, efterfulgt af ti måneders lagring. Delikat citrongul farve med sølvfarvede og grønne refleksioner. Dette er et vidunder af finesse i næsen. Frisk stenfrugt, saftige æbler, et strejf af æbletærte, kumquat, physalis og gule og hvide blomster, kaprifolium. Hver gang man dufter til den, fremkalder den nye smagsnuancer, altid fulde af finesse og stadig subtile. Også i munden synger vinen af friskhed med en subtil bitterhed af citronskal på gul stenfrugt, cantaloupemelon og grønt æble. Mmmh! Det får munden til at løbe i vand. I eftersmagen er der et strejf af vaniljekrydderi fra den dygtige trælagring og en animerende salthed. Der er sket meget i Australien. Selv om denne vin ikke kan sammenlignes med en hvid bourgogne, er den stadig på samme niveau som en Premier Cru Chassagne-Montrachet. Smagsmæssigt er den måske mere en blanding af Chassagne, Sonoma Coast og Australien. Animerende at drikke og kompleks med en imponerende mængde finesse.

Parker om: Lenswood Vineyard Chardonnay

The 2024 Lenswood Vineyard Chardonnay leads with crushed nuts and white flowers, fresh sage leaf and brine. In the mouth, the wine is elegant, restrained and pithy. The acidity rears up through the finish, and while it feels a little taut, perhaps even edging toward acerbic, it works within the overall structure and line of the wine. I find the fruit character here to be extremely pleasing: it is light yet yellow-fruited, spicy without being heavy and layered without feeling cumbersome. This is excellent. 12.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. *** The 2024 season in the Adelaide Hills was characterized by a cool and wet spring and end of 2023, with a warm and dry growing season from late January onward. There was some disease pressure around the place, however the warmth and dryness of the 2024 summer assisted in eradicating some of these challenges. The wines have been exceptional, from what I have seen, and I continue to look forward to more as they are released. The Lenswood vineyard is at an elevation of 500 meters and was planted in 2001 on loam over clay and shale soils. The vineyard is oriented east-facing, with Bernard clones 76, 95 and 96, at a density of 4,760 vines per hectare.

Halliday om: Lenswood Vineyard Chardonnay

A 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.

Winepilot om: Lenswood Vineyard Chardonnay

The Lenswood vineyard was planted in 1999 and sits at 455–500m elevation. This was hand-picked and hand-sorted, gently whole-bunch pressed, then fermented in 500-litre puncheons, 30% new. Full malo and 10 months in oak. This is intense and immediate in its perfume with red apple flesh, fine cedar, flint and lees-derived pastry dough leading to grilled almond and white peach. There’s some cinnamon apple and peach skin with air. The palate is at once precise and expansive — white peach and powdery red apple flesh followed by cinnamon roll, finger lime and a shot of salinity before crackling acidity and powdery phenolics ripple and shimmer through a long, poised and incredibly fresh finish. A classy wine, imbued with freshness, complexity and definition.

The Wine Front om: Lenswood Vineyard Chardonnay

Such a finely-etched and classy wine here. White peach, almond cream, aniseed, spice, a flicker of struck match. It’s gently chalky in texture, a crunch to pure acidity, some green olive, ginger and cinnamon, with a saline and limey finish of outstanding length – somewhat like a margarita in a way – and certainly has that refreshing bite to it. Top shelf.
