Made from 100% Chardonnay grown on the chalk soils of the South Downs, it combines crisp lemon and green apple with white peach, delicate florals and subtle notes of brioche and toasted almond. Fine bubbles and vibrant acidity give the palate wonderful energy, while extended lees ageing adds texture and complexity without sacrificing freshness. Refined enough for celebrations but serious enough for the table, it is excellent as an aperitif or alongside oysters, shellfish, smoked salmon, sushi or simply prepared fish.

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is one of the most versatile and widely planted white grape varieties in the world, renowned for its adaptability to diverse climates and winemaking styles. Originating in Burgundy, where it reaches its most elegant and mineral expression, Chardonnay can range from crisp and steely to rich and opulent, depending on where and how it is made. Its relatively neutral character allows it to reflect both terroir and technique—whether aged in stainless steel for a lean, citrus-driven profile, or in oak barrels to develop notes of vanilla, toast, and creamy texture. Flavours often include apple, pear, lemon, peach, and tropical fruits, with cool-climate examples offering tension and minerality, while warmer regions yield fuller, rounder styles. From Chablis to Napa, Margaret River to Sicily, Chardonnay remains a benchmark for quality and diversity in white wine.
