Tasting Notes:

Pale Straw to light green in colour. Freshly cut peach, lemon butter and honeycomb provide the driving force whilst extended lees stirring adds complex depth. Soft creamy texture gives length from the extended time on lees whilst the flavours or peach, lemon and lime provide the weight with a clean refreshing finish just with a hint of natural fruit acid. Try a chicken risotto with mushroom, onion, thyme, garlic and Parmesan.

Technical:

The grapes were machine picked then crushed followed by the primary alcoholic fermentation. Weekly stirring of the light lees resulted in the development of more complex and rich flavours, whilst regular tasting ensured a delicate and satisfying balance between fresh fruit and acid. The wine was filtered and stabilised before bottling.

Rated 4 out of 5 by JonS from Good quality, great price A little more intense flavours than my preferred chardonnay of choice for quaffing, but having said that definitely not overpowering and quite smooth on the palate. Very drinkable with food or snacks

Rated 4 out of 5 by Tim27 from Lovely chardonnay I purchased this dozen, having drank 1838 reds before. Delicious, fresh fruit and a bit of that buttery chardonnay feeling were my first impressions. Excellent with Asian dishes. Looking forward to the next vintage.
