Matured through two winters in barrel before bottling, our ‘Two Winters’ wines follow a traditional path in the cellar. With each cold season it settles and clarifies naturally, shaped by time and the rhythm of the seasons. Bottled only after its second winter, it reflects a philosophy of restraint, allowing nature to bring harmony, depth and quiet elegance to the glass.

The 2023 vintage provided huge crop potential with excellent floral initiation from the previous vintage. Good bunch weights due to an extended summer with warmth and rain at the right times. As we approached harvest, we were experiencing unseasonably warm nights, meaning we had little diurnal temperature variation. This allowed acid levels to fall faster which than they would typically in our Chardonnay grapes. We continued to allow the grapes to hang, accumulate sugars beyond that of sparkling wine ripeness and pick when at optimum maturity for still wine.

100% Chardonnay

TASTING NOTES

Bright lemon colour with aromas of orchard fruits, fragrant pear with a touch of lemon shortbread on the nose. Enticing flavours of baked apple and candied peel with hints of lemon panettone and sweet brioche. Beautifully balanced with a delightful freshness and lingering finish.

We love it with sole meunière or whole plaice with a shrimp butter!
