“From two blocks of vines, this vintage of Lenswood shows exceptional fruit intensity—likely due to very low yields—rimmed in salt and toast. There’s a distinctive shape to the palate. It’s both broad and mouth- filling but also cuts straight down the middle, with tingly, crystalline acidity. Lemon and tropical fruits are tied in a bow by the oak and lees influence. This is a beautifully crafted wine now but it could continue to evolve in bottle for several more years.” — Wine Enthusiast, Dec 2023

“Pale colour. Intense white peach nectarine, grapefruit aromas, with tonic water/ flinty notes. Beautifully concentrated white peach, nectarine fruits, very attractive flinty, yeasty/biscuity notes, fine lacy textures, superb mid-palate viscosity and pure fresh linear acidity. Finishes chalky with abundant ripe stone fruit notes and beautiful mineral length. A textbook ultra-fine chardonnay with wonderful definition, creaminess and vinosity. Drink soon to take advantage of the fruit clarity, but should keep for a while.”
