(2002) £4 buys a Chardonnay with no sign of blowsy, overripe tropical fruit, no smothering with oaky custard aromas, no overpowering alcohol that tires the senses. This 12.5% alcohol wine has enough creamy, biscuity richness from the lees ageing to counterbalance tingling fresh lemony fruit. The nose is citrussy, the palate broadens but stays sharp, adding a nutty, oatmeally quality.
