Battle Of Bosworth Chardonnay 2016

In many ways this is an old-fashioned Chardonnay with its generous oak, stone fruit and melon characters. However, by preventing the wine from going through 100% malolactic fermentation, it has retained the wines’ natural acidity, to make a tighter style, a world away from those big buttery jobs of the late 80’s and 90’s. There is a complex nuttiness on the nose as well as a trace of citrus through the wine, underpinned with lovely oak and wonderful length.
