Chardonnay 2020, Bird in Hand

Bird in Hand Chardonnay is pale straw in colour, on the nose the wine evokes intense white peach, apricot and grapefruit combined with subtle hints of hazelnut and nougat resulting from the wine spending an extended time on yeast lees.  On the palate, the Chardonnay has the perfect balance of complex and delicate flavours framed by a line of acidity, slight chalkiness and restrained oak influence.

Food pairing: The perfect partner to scallop chowder and new season lamb lion with summer vegetables

Alcohol: 12.98% ABV

    string(513) "Possibly the most famous grape variety in the world, Chardonnay has found a home in pretty much every corner of the wine world. From crisp, flinty Chablis styles to full-bodied, oaky, rich Napa Valley Chardonnay it is a variety which has the ability to morph according to the climate or winemaking philosophy. It also has the capacity to produce amongst the greatest white wines in the world. Some praise indeed for this chameleon variety, the likes of which may only truly be matched by Riesling or Chenin Blanc."
