WINE REVIEW
This is the estate that put Essex on the map as a serious player in the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir world, and this 2022 vintage has got to be one of the ripest and most extravagant English Chardonnays to date.
The nose promises the exotic warmth of pineapple, peach and clementine, with toasted spices and a hint of vanilla.
The stone fruits dance on the palate between vibrant acidity and tangy pineapple. The lingering hint of smoky oak and torched tangerine peel add complexity, but it’s really the depth and breadth of the fruit that stands out here.
This is positively new world in style – think more Aussie or South African Chardonnay than Burgundy. Wow.
