Description

Made from some the best Chardonnay fruit we've ever seen, picked in 2022 by hand from Martin's Lane in the Crouch Valley, Essex. 

It was a hot, dry year, so yields were low, but ripeness was exceptional.

Whole-bunch pressed and only the 'heart' of the free run used, the juice was then fermented in new French oak barrels. Following fermentation the wine was matured in barrel for 18 months, with around 50% seeing weekly bâtonnage. 

The wine was bottled in March 2024 without fining or filtration. 

Reserve six bottles now, with delivery in September 2024, following a further six months of ageing in bottle. 

Tasting Note
Pithy lemon and white peach combined with vanilla pod and butterscotch. The palate has a fleshy texture, flavours of ripe apricot crumble, a hint of cinnamon. Leading to a toasty finish, underpinned by subtle woodsmoke and fresh acidity.
