fresh and mineral yet showing a touch of the sun from the warmer vintage
where Palmer has 80 hectares
but among the best Australia has ever made
intense yet not overbearing
It carefully reins in the soaring power of Nebbiolo and whittles it down to extreme finesse and precision
Shaw & Smith Lenswood Vineyard Chardonnay 2024 Blanc de Noirs fresh and mineral yet showingA 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.
