The cool Lenswood vineyard, sitting at 550m in the Adelaide Hills, provides the fruit source for this wine. It’s primary fruit driven with classic peach and apricot on the nose. The medium bodied palate displays a balance of natural acidity and barrel work. It has a lovely textured creamy, leesy palate, laced with citrus acidity which produces a long satisfying finish. An excellent Chardonnay.

Ratings Key:
Outstanding (Score range 95-100)
Often an internationally recognised, leading brand or winery – but not always! Produces a classic wine that is a faultless representation of the style/variety. Complexity on the nose and a seamless palate are an example of the hallmarks of an outstanding wine.
Highly Recommended (Score range 92-94)
A quality focused wine that has plenty of style. Length of palate and intensity are often key characteristics of highly recommended wines. These producers could be the ones to watch in the future.
Recommended (Score range 89-91)
An above average well-made, reflection of the style/variety, which often represents good value for money.
