Light lemon colour near translucent. Lemon / lime aroma sharp smell. Weak lemon grapefruit taste. Acidic finish not smooth. Slight tang green grape skin feel on mouth.
For £15 not good value to me can be bought for £10. Not my choice of Chardonnay at this price.

Chose this off the back of enjoying their Sauvignon blanc. Golden straw colour with a cashew nut and slightly lemony nose. To taste it is slightly more hazelnut and grapefruit, making for a soft texture but still with cleansing acidity. I enjoyed it, the wife thought it nothing special, but she didn't like the Sauvignon blanc.

Beautiful hints of black currants and a touch of gooseberry. Fruity, pleasant, and perfect for celebrating the end of winter. And not only that. :)

Deliciously fruity, but dry white that lingers on on your plate and perfectly accompanies lobster and dairylea.
