Rich in colour and aroma. The texture is heavy, thick but works with the richness that is first apparent on the first smell. Aroma and flavours of ripe citrus and oak overtones make this quite heavy in comparison to most commercial Chardonnays out there. That said it’s perfect with a roast turkey and all the trimmings.

At £35 a bottle it’s not cheap, is it worth it? Maybe but I think it’s worth trying and making your own mind up.
