Spy Valley Chardonnay 2013

Spy Valley Chardonnay 2013

Grown using six clones of chardonnay, this wine triggered a lot of panel discussion. A flinty, smoky layer hangs over a busy rush of fresh citrus zest and juicy acidity – “it’s like squeezed lime on schist”, said John Saker.

The finish is long, with a savoury edge. Another wine that calls out to be paired with seafood – try serving it alongside scampi.
