Description

Shaw + Smith Lenswood Chardonnay 2023Vineyard planted in 2001 to Bernard clones 76, 95 and 96. A bit of struck match here, but also lots of nashi pear, fairly dripping with flavour, cinnamon laced pasty dough, grapefruit, nougat, a bit of a salty manzanilla tang too, mint and chamomile. Its saline and savoury, a powdery grip to texture, aniseed perfume, and again that salty pistachio thing on a finish of excellent length. Sophisticated style Saline. Very adult. And very very good. Yes.

Fascinating deep

It was then aged in botti for 30 months before bottling and then remained in bottle for a further year before release

the serious chalky structure sits in the medium to full body in a very relaxed way

very well judged for its impact on the palate

they come together to give Bombay Sapphire its tantalising

white peach

There’s a breadth here from the pudding stones

A real touch of Mt Edelstone here with bay leaf

the less we say the better

Floral overtones appear later to lift the finish

This is not home ground for Oddero

The grape selection is from six low yielding vineyards where the ancient soil consists of two to five metres of sand and stone on a bed of clay
