Blackbook 'Painter of Light' Chardonnay Essex 2020

Description

This urban winery is in a railway arch in London, and Sergio and his wife Lynsey source fruit from superb growers in England with a big focus on cool climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

‘Painter of Light’ is a reflection of the wonderful Indian summer the UK had in 2018. Allowing for better balance and concentration of flavour. This Chardonnay expresses refinement and elegance playing into the fruit forward varietal characters with additional floral and flint characters. With 20% new oak from a large new Burgundy barrel. The wine gives subtle oak characters while embracing and lifting the fruit.
