Description

A lovely example of a cool climate Chardonnay.

From Oxney Estate in East Sussex, this is a lovely example of a cool climate Chardonnay. Fresh aromas of lemon, green apple, and yellow plum and on the palate lemon and green apple lead the way to a lovely chalky mineral finish. Drink now with chicken or fresh fish dishes topped with a lemon cream sauce or hold onto it for next spring and enjoy with fresh seared Rye Bay scallops in beurre blanc.

Matthew Jukes quote: “I awarded the 2018 vintage of this wine a perfect 20/20 score, and I opened a bottle the other day and smiled like a halfwit. Nothing is like sticking your neck out and checking to see if everything still looks fantastic four years on! So, when I say this 2022 is a direct descendant of its ground-breaking ancestor, it is the highest praise possible. The hints of drama and excellence are present, and while this is still a youthful creation, it is set for glory.”

Oxney is a mixed farm and award-winning winery created by Kristin Syltevik and Paul Dobson, with Kristin looking after the wine and Paul running the arable and livestock aspects. The whole estate is organic (Soil Association Certified) and run with a sustainable and natural approach. ‘Cover crops’ of plants, flowers and herbs are used between the vines to encourage potential pests away from the grapes, and they generate heat from coppiced wood chips. The vineyards are comprised of 21 acres of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Seyval Blanc vines, which produce a range of still and sparkling wines. The winery is in a Grade II listed oast house that now has the latest winemaking equipment to produce top-quality organic English wine. It’s a great location for vineyard tours and wine tastings.
