The Story

Tasting Notes for Battle of Bosworth Chardonnay from the Winery

Winemaking

We pick at night when the grapes are cooler and bring them into the winery before dawn. how incredibly romantic! The grapes are pressed off their skins and pumped into barrel (new and French oak hogsheads – 500 litre barrels) to undergo a wild, natural ferment. We try our hardest not to let the wine go through MALO (MLF or malolactic fermentation) so that the wine retains its crisp natural acidity. Once ferment is finished the wine then spends about 6 months in oak before bottling.

90 Points Halliday Wine Rating

Lifted aromas of nougat, white peach, sweet florals, grilled nuts and citrus. Full flavoured, rich and mouth-filling, quite plush, ripe stone fruit, nutty oak and soft, shapely acidity. Generously flavoured, easy drinking and delivers.

92 Points Ned Goodwin MW

'...A generous chardonnay of considerable class, belying its hot-climate origins. Riffs on nougatine, creamed cashew and canned peach. The oak is sensitively applied, evincing a nudge of authority while letting further stone and tropical fruit allusions flow. The acidity, too, an honest representation of place: soft and effortless....'
