LYME BAY CHARDONNAY 75CL 12%

2021 may have been a much leaner vintage than 2020, but lyme bay has pulled another stunner out of the bag with this Chardonnay. As usual this Devon-based winery has sourced the fruit from Essex, the warmest driest part of the country.

The Chardonnay vineyards in Essex are martins lane, crouch ridge, old mill house, and Riverview Crouch Valley. This is given some oak ageing which gives it a roundness and compliments the zingy citrus fruit.

Tasting note; Limey nose, very very fresh. On the palate there notes of lemon meringue pie with a creamy and nutty texture. Long finish.

Suitable for Vegetarians

This is remarkably good with shellfish, roast chicken and our many of our cheeses.

Cheese wise, partner this Lyme Bay Chardonnay with our Cornish Kern, or choose our Comte or Gruyere as the the nutty, savoury flavours of a firm alpine cheese match the subtle oak and round texture of this English Chardonnay. Brie or Camembert are other popular choices, as the soft, buttery white-rinded cow's milk cheese mirrors the creamy mouthfeel of the wine without overpowering its delicate fruit.
