Tasting note
Buttery Chardonnay from Devon: a mouthful of oranges, nuts, dried figs and toffee with a final, refreshing spritz of pink grapefruit.
Viticulture
The 2016 vintage was defined by an incredibly warm and dry autumn, which allowed the grapes to be hand-picked at optimum ripeness on the 18th October from a single vineyard in the Maldon region of Essex.
Vinification
The grapes were whole-cluster pressed and settled naturally for a short length of time, before fermentation in stainless steel with a malolactic co-inoculation. Once malolactic fermentation was complete the wine was transferred to barrels of French oak, along with the lees, for 11 months of ageing and gentle stirring.
Food Match
Asparagus, seasonal greens, roasted vegetables, mushrooms, preserved lemon and roasted chicken.
