Foxglove Chardonnay

Sometimes California has over-relied on the use of oak in maturing its Chardonnays to give those big, buttery, creamy flavours. Well there are other ways to get rich, creaminess…

By fermenting and maturing in stainless steel vats and letting the wine mature unfiltered on its lees (the residue of dead yeast from the fermentation period) this wine combines ‘leesy’ creaminess with crisp, refreshing acidity to create a wine of great character and complexity that belies its (relatively – it’s come all the way from California) great price point.
