The Currency Creek region is located 60 minutes south of Adelaide and is 20 minutes from the McLaren Vale region via a picturesque, winding road over the Mt Lofty Ranges. This region is located adjacent to Lake Alexandrina and is within 4 km (3 miles) from the Southern Ocean and benefits from cool sea breezes that help with a slow but clean ripening. This climate allows the grapes sugar and flavor levels to develop while retaining a balanced natural acidity.
Wine experts laud the Currency Creek region for producing consistent style, ultra premium quality and outstanding varietal definition wines. It is here that the Shaw family has sufficient acerage to produce wines of very high quality but with an economy of scale to allow everyday pricing.
From the Shaw family comes this extraordinary, peachy, punchy little un-wooded Chardonnay. Bright straw color, with citrus and floral notes on the nose. Full -bodied yet delightfully zesty and fresh with a lovely clean finish, where the bright fruit, nuanced with white peach and melon notes, carries the day.
$9.99 per bottle or $101.90/case ($8.49)
