Chardonnay can look very different depending on where it’s grown and how it’s made. This English example from Lyme Bay sits firmly in the rounded, gently worked end of the spectrum.

It’s a dry, well-balanced wine, lightly oaked to add shape rather than flavour. The nose is warm and inviting, with notes of peach, honey and something a little pastry-like. In the glass it’s pale gold.

On the palate it’s smooth and rounded, with good length and a sense of ease. Stone fruit sits at the core, joined by a touch of orange, nuts and a hint of toffee on the finish. The oak is present but controlled, giving the wine a bit of depth without tipping it into heaviness.

Food Pairing

This is a flexible Chardonnay at the table. It works well with roast chicken, pork, or richer fish dishes, and has enough texture to handle lightly spiced food without getting lost.

Devon, England

Devon's vineyards are situatued in the valleys and lowlands of south and east Devon. Mostly close to the rivers Exe, Teign and Dart.

The growing season is long, with sun and heat starting earlier and lasting longer than in many other English counties. This gives the grapes more time to ripen and more time to hang.
