  2022 Estate Chardonnay, Yering Station

  Classic cool-climate Chardonnay, with lifted aromas of white blossom, pear and grapefruit, leading to an energetic palate full of white nectarine, citrus and subtle vanilla toasty notes, wrapped up in a tightly wound core of acidity.

  2015 Serruria Chardonnay, Cape of Good Hope

  £2450

  In the glass aromas of orange blossom and spice fill the nose. It is fresh, lively and zippy in the mouth with ample orange and citrus flavour cloaked with creamy vanilla oak. The flavours grow like a peacock fantail, starting off quite reserved and then revealing more depth and richness. There is a lovely harmonious integration of oak and fruit. Long and yet light and bright.

  The grapes for this wine are harvested from the Altima vineyard, situated in Elandskloof, an isolated valley north of Villiersdorp which is 5km wide and is surrounded by a steep mountain range that rises 1km from the valley floor. The steep topography causes the valley to receive less direct sunlight due to the overshadowing mountains, which together with the elevation of 600 to 900m equates to a very cool climate for the valley. is unique terroir produces wines with high natural acidity and upfront aromas. Grapes are harvested much later than other sites in the Western Cape, with harvest usually starting in late February/early March.

  2020 Chardonnay, Zephyr Wines

  £2450

  The Glover family were one of the first to plant grapes on their farm in Marlborough’s Dillon’s Point sub-region in 1988. Nineteen years later, led by eldest son Ben, the family launched Zephyr, a range of single vineyard wines from the farm. The name Zephyr means ‘a gentle breeze’. Inspired by the prevailing wind that moderates their vineyards.

  This organic single vineyard Chardonnay stands out from the Marlborough crowd for its perfect use of oak barrels and subtle toasty note on the nose. Flinty, complex and with plenty of personality, this is a taut New Zealand chardonnay with citrus, spice and a mealy savoury character.  In short it perfectly expresses the ethereal, aromatic and structural flair of the Dillons Point Sub-Region in Marlborough.

  2021 Chardonnay, Brokenwood

  £2495

  Established in 1970 Brokenwood Wines is one of Australia’s most reputable premium wine labels and a must-visit in the Hunter Valley. Consistently listed as a 5 star winery, Brokenwood is home to the famous Graveyard Vineyard Shiraz, the highly acclaimed ILR Reserve Semillon, and the popular Cricket Pitch Range.

  Brokenwood, along with a large number of Chardonnay producers, are harvesting much earlier than 10 years ago. This is partly due to a lot of vineyards reaching maturity, and therefore having great fruit flavour and concentration at lower sugar levels. Additionally, consumers are demanding more finely structured Chardonnay, meaning lower alcohols and less oak.

  Approximately two-thirds from Beechworth the balance being from a combination of the Yarra Valley, Tumbarumba and the Hunter Valley.

  Brilliant very pale straw almost water like core with greenish tinged edges. Aromas of white peach and dried honey mix with some biscuity oak notes, cashew and delicate citrusy nougat.

  2023 ‘Roman Road’ Chardonnay, Simpsons Wine Estate

  £2595

  Exuding a true sense of place, the Roman Road Chardonnay is elegant and pure, with a distinctive mineral quality that you would expect from fruit grown on the iconic chalk terroir of the Kentish North Downs.

  Pale straw hued, with a complex matrix of tropical and citrus fruit, subtle butterscotch and flint on the nose, this Chardonnay shows excellent, ripe fruit intensity balanced with an elegant minerality, fresh citrus flavours and touches of cedar.

  The 2018 vintage was awarded a Platinum Medal and the highest accolade of “Best in Show” in the Decanter World Wine Awards 2020. This title is only bestowed upon the top 50 wines entered into what is the largest and most influential, international wine competition.  The 2020 vintage is a very worthy follow-up, reflecting the superb growing season and harvest of that year.

  Simpsons Wine Estate is situated in the Elham Valley; an unspoilt seam in the North Downs of Kent where the contours of the land, the climate and the soil are excellent for viticulture. The intensely lime-rich chalk soil forms part of the same chalk ridge that stretches from southern England through Champagne and on to Burgundy. The grapes come from the Roman Road vineyard, named after the route the Romans first marched when invading England in AD 43.  They are grown on south-facing slopes, ensuring heat accumulation in the day and cold air drainage at night. The vineyard is less than eight miles from the coast, providing a crucial maritime influence insulating the fruit against intense temperature variations.

  2022 Petit Chablis, Domaine Jean Goulley

  £2600

  Domaine Jean Goulley was formed in 1986 by Jean Goulley and is now run by his granddaughter Maud. The Domaine is well regarded for their mineral style of Chablis’s that have a purity and vivacity that pays homage to the Chablis of the past.

  2020 is a very fine vintage which is not easy to compare to other years. Although the grapes ripened very early in the year, the dry weather and absence of heat spikes meant that grape quality and health was exceptional.   It has been described as ‘a very classic vintage’ and very different from 2018 and 2019.   Many producers have described it as the best since 2014!

  In the glass, this 2020 Petit Chablis is clean, fresh and appealing, with ripe crunchy green apple fruit and crisp acid keeping everything vibrant. An early drinking Petit Chablis that  will give a lot of pleasure over the next 3-5 years.

  Maud and her family believe in the ethos of organic farming along with that of minimal intervention; all of their vineyards are farmed organically. The vineyard is situated on the left bank of the River Sereine, where the vines are planted with an easterly orientation at an average altitude of 210 metres. The double Guyot trained vines are between 25 to 30 years old and are grown in Kimmeridgian soils, which are rich in clay and limestone with fossilised seashells. There is also the presence of Cailloux, large pebbles which help to promote ripening by absorbing the heat of the day and then radiating it at night. The vines are planted to a density of 5,700 vines per hectare and yields are kept to a maximum of 60 hectolitres per hectare. At Domaine Jean Goulley, they believe in highlighting terroir and produce their wines in an unoaked style, allowing them to reveal the purity, minerality and vitality of the soil.
