Ancre Hill Vineyard Chardonnay 2018

White-pepper aromas that turn apricot, lime and toasted tangerine as the wine warms and opens. Pert, precise, peppery lime and crunchy greengage fruit. The grapes were whole bunch pressed then fermented in stainless steel and oak barrel. The wine was aged on gross lees for a minimum of 10 months, with natural MLF, no filtration or fining. Ancre Hill Estates is located in the Welsh county of Monmouthshire. The 12 hectares of vineyards are perfectly positioned on south facing slopes close to the border town of Monmouth and the Wye Valley. The estate utilises traditional Biodynamic and Organic Viticultural practices to produce the best possible fruits from carefully sourced and selected varieties with excellent heritage. The wines produced at Ancre Hill express the terroir of ancient mudstone and sandstone soils, giving the wines their character and natural flavours, with no external intervention or manipulation in the winemaking process.
