English Still Wines
Whitehall Vineyard Madeline May Chardonnay 2020
Notes of citrus and stone fruits which complement the minerality
A well balanced and complex wine with notes of citrus and stone fruits complimenting good minerality and a medium body, providing a fresh clean finish. Pairs perfectly with fish and light pastas.
Whitehall Farm has been in the same family for five generations, since 1894. Their history of growing and farming evolved into a desire to take on a new challenge, to produce premium English wines. Whitehall Vineyard was established in 2017 with the support of a small team of planters, who helped the family plant the vines one by one. The vineyard is based in the fertile soils of the Avon Valley, with a favourable aspect and an underlying bedrock of permeable limestone. This terroir is perfect for growing Rondo, Bacchus, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris, the basis of Whitehall’s wines.
