Balfour ‘1503’ Chardonnay 2022, Kent

Description

This unoaked Chardonnay spends more time ageing, creating rich notes of baked apple and oaty character. Balfour specialise in making still wines with texture and complexity. Owen and Fergus Elias are a formidable team, selecting the very best fruit for this fabulous Chardonnay. Owen has been awarded ‘UK Winemaker of the Year’ on six occasions and, following in his father’s footsteps, Fergus is a graduate of Plumpton College, England’s viticultural centre and is part of an exciting new generation of young winemakers innovating and pushing boundaries in English winemaking. Rich, rounded and with delightful baked apple flavours. Think spring and summer meals in the garden. Fresh salads, grilled chicken and fish.
