Edgebaston Chardonnay 2017

The tight minerality keeps a wonderful acid grip on the palate showing good ageing potential.

Likened by many to the flavours found in cooler Burgundian and Chablis sites, the focus here is to make elegant wines, the ideal accompaniment to foods such as paella, quail and pork.
