Chardonnay

Chardonnay is one of the world’s best-loved white grapes, famed for its versatility and global reach. Originating in Burgundy, France, it has become the cornerstone of iconic white wines and Champagne, while also thriving in regions from California to Chile, Australia, and increasingly, southern England.

Its character varies widely depending on climate and winemaking style. In cooler regions (like Chablis or English vineyards), Chardonnay is crisp and elegant, with flavours of green apple, citrus, and mineral notes. In warmer climates, it becomes richer, showing ripe peach, melon, or tropical fruit. Oak-aged examples often gain layers of vanilla, butter, and toast, appealing to those who enjoy a rounder, fuller style.

For UK drinkers, Chardonnay is a superbly food-friendly choice. It pairs beautifully with roast chicken, salmon, creamy pasta, seafood, and soft cheeses. Whether you prefer it lean and mineral or lush and oaked, Chardonnay offers a style for every palate.

Gardner Street has the classic floral, elderflower note we have come to know of contemporary Bacchus, married with a touch of ripe stone fruit from the barrel fermented Chardonnay.

Sourced from vineyard partners in Essex and Kent we harvested the vineyard parcels separately and fermented as small lots to allow the expression of their respective sites to shine through. 30% of the blend was fermented in neutral 300L French oak barrels and
allowed to go through malolactic fermentation, while the remaining parcels were fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel and did not go through malolactic fermentation.

Sandridge Barton Don’t Feed the Ponies Figgie Daniel 2022 (6 Bottles) Stoke Gabriel, Devon, England

£150.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

An energetic wine with a lively spritz. This wine is unfiltered and unfined and contains the lees in the bottle. Col Fondo means 'with the bottom' in Italian, referring to the leftover lees sediment. This is the method in which Prosecco was produced before being overly commercialised but is now regaining popularity.

This wine is light and spritzy with green apple, lemon rind, elderflower and yeasty characters. We recommend a gentle shake before serving to distribute the sediment.

This wine is part of our new Don't Feed The Ponies range of more experimental wines, a reference to a campaign on Dartmoor National Park to discourage visitors from feeding the wild horses that roam there. The source of the River Dart begins way up in the heart of the moors, and it's the river that influences how our grapes grow. For every bottle purchased from this range, we'll donate 25p to the Dartmoor Preservation Association to preserve the natural habitat.
