Balfour Skye’s Chardonnay 2023 (6 Bottles) Tonbridge, Kent, England
FREE SHIPPING ENGLAND WIDE
“A chardonnay for those who favour balance, freshness and sophistication” is how our Head Winemaker, Fergus Elias, described his newest vintage of Skye’s Chardonnay, from the superb 2022 harvest.
Inspired by our home, with flavours reminiscent of white blossom, thyme and fresh lemons. Coming from vineyards planted specifically for the creation of English Chardonnay.
Skye’s Chardonnay is made from Burgundy clones planted on Middle Strackney Wood and Old Eight Acre, our two warmest Chardonnay Vineyards which we pick last to maximise phenolic ripeness.
Here’s three reasons to try our Chardonnay:
1. Burgundian heritage: this wine comes entirely from grafted Burgundian vines, grown on Kentish clay soil.
2. Unoaked style: this is all about the character of the chardonnay – zesty, fresh and Chablis-like in style.
3. Lingering complexity: this is proof that you don’t need oak to make interesting wine. There’s plenty of texture from the extended lees age, battonage and full malolactic fermentation.
Tasting Note: A clean citrus-driven palate with notes of lime and melon rind. A delightful, aromatic and complex Chardonnay.
Winemaker’s Food Pairing: There’s a freshness and vibrancy to this wine which makes it an excellent pairing for fresh salads. Alternatively, it’s extra weight (balanced with the citrus character) creates a delicious counterpoint to oily fish dishes and shellfish.

Melbury Vale Exuberance (6 Bottles) Shaftesbury, Dorset, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Our Exuberance English red wine comes from red grapes grown at a local vineyard Melbury Vale co-manages. This 2018 red blend comes from the “Harvest of a Lifetime” here in the UK, where the growing season stayed extraordinarily warm and sunny. The 2018 Exuberance is a blend of Triomphe d’Alsace [TDA] and Dornfelder grapes. TDA and Dornfelder are both cool climate grapes that that have dark skins and balanced fruit and acidity flavors. The grapes were co-fermented and half of the must was left to sit on the skins for over 12 months. This was the first time we tried this winemaking technique at Melbury Vale. One common note about English red wines is that they can lack body and tannin structure. The time half of the wine spent with the skins allowed for not only a deeper color, but a more rich texture and mouthfeel. We loved the balance of the wine being more full bodied (not often a term used to describe English red wine) but also the fresh fruitiness of the wine thanks to the amazing 2018 vintage. We bottled this wine unfiltered as we felt filtering it would omit the beautiful flavor and viscosity we are so excited about.
On the nose we get aromas of black cherry and dried herbs, with flavors of spiced plum, bramble, and a savory note to finish.
Food Pairings: barbecued meats, aged cheeses, and anything dark chocolate.

The wine is unfiltered and has spend a further 10 months in bottle prior to release.
The palate is alive and bursting with lemon pith, melon and kiwi flavours, lifted by a lime-like acidity and some subtle oak tannin. This dry, textual and broad Bacchus shows a different side to UK's fourth most planted grape variety.
