  2022 Amped Chardonnay, Spoke

  £2195

  The 2022 Amped Chardonnay from Spoke Wines is a masterclass in textural Chardonnay.  Spoke is the visionary collaboration led by Marlborough winemaker Ben Glover, whose decades of experience in the region are channelled into site-focused, expressive wines that reflect both land and hand. Each wine in the range is named for a specific theme or mood—“Amped” here referencing the wine’s quiet energy and understated intensity.

  This 100% Chardonnay hails from the Wilde vineyard, located in a cool maritime pocket of Marlborough and rooted in silt loam and clay soils. These conditions, combined with minimal intervention winemaking, result in a wine that is richly layered, yet beautifully restrained.

  On the nose, bruised green apple, stone fruit and almond are immediately apparent, woven with delicate notes of white flowers and honey. The palate follows suit, dry, powerful and deeply complex, with its core defined not by overt acidity, but by minerality and finely grained phenolic texture. This gives the wine a structural integrity and savoury elegance that stands out among modern New Zealand Chardonnays.

  Already compelling, the 2022 Amped Chardonnay is delicious now but built to evolve, promising even greater nuance and harmony over the next decade.

  I secretly think we all miss those big luscious, oaky Californian Chardonnays, the ones before they all got expensive and over-the-top.

  As a vine nursery fieldman, Andrew Jones has spent many hours exploring vineyards, planning, planting, and chatting with farmers all over the Central Coast. He began spotting more and more interesting and overlooked vineyards – often rocky, wilder sites located closer to the Pacific, farmed mindfully by clients who have become friends over many years.  This Chardonnay is sourced from Edna Valley.

Semillon Blanc from Franschhoek, Clairette Blanche from Stellenbosch and Chenin Blanc from Paardeberg add depth and textural complexity to this Cape white blend as they are sourced from old, low-yielding bush vines estimated to be approximately 40 years old.

  £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.

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.
