Our new Chardonnay is delicious, soft light buttery. Come and try Friday or Saturday afternoon this weekend
LOVE BURGUNDY? YOU SHOULD TRY ENGLISH AND WELSH CHARDONNAY.
Not because English and Welsh w**emakers are trying to make Burgundy. Because they’re not.
But if you love the things that make great white Burgundy so compelling – cool-climate freshness, bright acidity, texture, restraint and a real sense of place – then English still Chardonnay deserves to be on your radar.
Chardonnay is now the UK’s most planted grape variety, and while it remains the backbone of English and Welsh sparkling w**e, a new generation of still Chardonnays is showing just how well the variety can perform here.
English and Welsh Chardonnay has its own identity – shaped by British growing conditions, individual vineyards, soils, vintages and w**emaking choices.
And that’s what makes it so exciting.
There will be a dedicated Chardonnay focus table at the W**eGB National Press & Trade Tasting on 7th September, giving trade and press the chance to explore the variety across English and Welsh producers and styles.
So, if your w**e list usually takes you to Chablis, Meursault or Puligny-Montrachet... take a detour to England and Wales, you might find a new Chardonnay worth talking about.
And you can find out more about UK Chardonnay in our Grape Press blog – link in bio.
