Lenswood

2025
Adelaide Hills
A striking counterpoint to its Piccadilly sibling… Only 200 Cases
$97.00

A striking counterpoint to its Piccadilly sibling, this debut Lenswood expression leads with bright, fresh lemon and citrus notes underscored by a distinctive talc-like minerality. Made identically to the Piccadilly — eight months French oak, partial malo — the wine reveals how profoundly terroir shapes the final expression. The palate is notably fresh with full texture: taut where Piccadilly is layered, linear where Piccadilly expands. A compelling study in sub-regional character.

200 cases only of the Grosset Lenswood Chardonnay. You can almost hear this wine purr. It tastes of pears, grapefruit, cashews and cedar; it builds texture, power and flavour into an elegant frame; it has that extra emphasis through the finish to reinforce its overall quality. This is both a refined chardonnay and a luxurious one.

Bright, light yellow. Cashewnut, spice and fresh pastry aromas with a subtle trace of toast; notes of custard apple, green apple and kiwifruit, good intensity and drive on the palate with bigger, more powerful flavour than its sibling Piccadilly wine, but still retains the typical Grosset finesse. 2026–2038

This has all the hallmarks of great chardonnay in a more delicate and pure vein. It's redolent of flint and wisps of struck match, red apple, lime juice, lemongrass, faint marzipan and brioche, with touches of green almond and hazelnut in tow. Very energetic and racy on the palate, yet a touch glossy, too. Exceptional in length and persistence, with distinct floral notes lifting the wine. Sleek and elegant is the message.
