The Varietal Expression Case: Chardonnay

Chardonnay is often considered the 'winemaker's grape', due to it's ability to adapt to different climates and be shaped by different winemaking techniques. This makes it an especially interesting varietal to explore comparatively, and so we have included a range of styles, climates and techniques in this trilogy case to demonstrate the versatility of Chardonnay! Startin off strong with a class Chablis, the Domaine William Fevre Chablis is a pure, mineral-driven expression of the grape. Moving on to South Africa, Baroness Nadine by Rupert & Rothschild is a staff favourite here at Waddesdon, showcasing the balance between tropical fruit, acidity and creamy oak. Finally, we travel to New Zealand for Tony Bish's Skeetfield. Often hailed the 'King of Chardonnay', Tony Bish is renowned for his rich, powerful and innovative wines.
