Pale lemon colour with soft green hue, this Chardonnay has wonderfully pronounced citrus, blossom and grapefruit aromas, with a hint of honey and pear. The palate is clean and fresh, with a mouthful of green apple flavours, and a creamy texture that is nicely balanced with its natural vibrant bright acidity. A fine and rich mouthfeel, with a long dry finish.

Press Review
" English take on a Chablis-style, part-barrel-fermented Chardonnay, from a Hampshire producer normally associated with sparkling English wine. The fruit was pressed whole-bunch from low-yielding vines in Essex and Kent. 14% was fermented in old oak barrels, 20% of the wine went through malolactic fermentation to soften the acidity. Water-clear and virtually colourless; the aromatics are floral with ripe orchard fruit – think meadow flowers, conference pear, apples, and a touch of grapefruit – the palate is fresh, crisp and tense, with high acidity, and washes of lemon and lime zest and flesh, with crisp, just-ripe apple, that refreshes the palate. You get a real tingle of mineral on the tongue. "The Buyer, Instagram.com
