For a noble grape variety, Chardonnay gets a lot of stick. In terms of drinking fashions over the last few decades it has flitted from being much sought after to much maligned and back again several times! Grown throughout the wine making world, the Chardonnay grape is capable of producing a vast array of styles. Vignerons love its versatility to grow pretty much anywhere that grapes are cultivated and winemakers love being able to fashion it into a myriad of styles, from crisp, fresh and unoaked to rich, full-bodied and buttery. In essence, Chardonnay has the ability to reflect both the personality of the soils and climate in which it’s grown and also the personality of the winemaker who fashions it into wine.
From Chablis, and throughout Burgundy’s vineyards, to Australia, South Africa and the west coast of USA, the noble Chardonnay grape makes classic styles of wine which are still very much in demand. At the Dorset Wine Company we have a vast array of styles on offer from the classic wine growing regions but also has a few tantalising examples from countries which don’t immediately spring to mind when we think of producing good Chardonnay, notably right here in England and Germany.
Chardonnay is also the principle grape variety in Champagne where it is the only grape which make up Blanc de Blancs and is favoured by traditional method sparkling wine producers worldwide.

2022 Hunting Hill Chardonnay, Kumeu River, Half Bottles
Chardonnay
The 2022 Chardonnay Hunting Hill is an impressive, focused style. It has a sense of energy, being almost buoyant with the movement of a skimming stone across your palate. There's a powerful core of fruit here and it has plenty of substance within its no-more-than medium-bodied core before kerpow! It fires home with an almost spicy kick. Clever oak use, reminiscent of toasted nuts, meets restrained flavors of lemon and lime bitter and nectarine fruit. A wine that's still in its cocoon so give it time. It may even have the edge of Maté's... Big call. 2024-2035.

2023 Mate’s Vineyard Chardonnay, Kumeu River
Chardonnay
The concentration and density of Mate’s Vineyard shines through in this wine even though the 2023 vintage was lighter with a moderate alcohol of 12.5%. No new oak was used in the vinification due to the lighter yields but there was a high proportion of 1 & 2 year old barrels which means the oak feel to this wine is similar to other vintages The vine age of Mate’s Vineyard, now 33 years, contributes to the inherent quality and reputation of this wine and we are confident that bottle age of up to ten years will be beneficial.
