Once in the glass, there is an immediate sensation of freshness, and the quality of the Chardonnay fruit shines through, with lovely notes of creamy apple and quince, and enhanced by the delicious scents and textures of brioche and subtle vanilla which have been created by the extended time spent ageing in bottle before release.
Based on the 2018 harvest- a landmark vintage for English wine across the board, this represents the essence of the mission at Hambledon Vineyard. Grown on our sunny, south facing vineyards on our estate, on belemnite chalk, this provides the perfect environment for growing exceptional Chardonnay. Aged in the cellar for more than four years- and was finally finished this year with a dosage of 3.42g/l. This means the unique terroir truly shines through- an intentional choice from the beginning, six years ago.
England's oldest commercial vineyard. Established in 1952 by Major-General Sir Guy Salisbury-Jones, Hambledon Vineyard prides itself on a long and rich heritage of innovation in English winemaking. oday, Hambledon Vineyard, under the new guidance of Berry Bros. & Rudd and Symington Family Estates, boasts over 200 acres of vineyards and the UK's only gravity-fed, state-of-the-art winery.
