Tolpuddle Vineyard Chardonnay 2023

Lifted aromas of orange blossom and white jasmine are hallmarks of a cooler season. The palate is powerful, layered and textured with grapefruit, lemon pith and minerality. Low yield flavour intensity is balanced with electric acidity. All fruit was hand-picked, whole bunch pressed, and fermented in French oak. The wine spent ten months in barrel with gentle stirring as required, then rested in tank on lees for a further four months. Ideal serving temperature: 12–15°C Will repay careful cellaring for up to 12 years.
