Description

The 2018 Chardonnay, Langham Estate is ultra fresh with aromas of kiwi and melon on the nose leading to a crisp, citrussy palate with just a whiff of that ‘natural/funky’ character which isn’t over the top. Some barrel ageing on lees adds little texture to the finish. 


So far this 2018 vintage from Dorset vineyard Langham Estate is a one off, and sadly only available in tiny volumes.  Natural yeast fermentation, unfined and unfiltered this is a bold experiment by winemaker Daniel Ham which paid dividends.


The sunny, hot 2018 vintage produced an abundance of fruit for british vineyards which led to some ultra ripe Chardonnay grapes being spare for the production of this wine…fingers crossed we get a few more similar vintages to allow Langham to repeat the experiment.

2019 Manda Chuva, Vinho Regional Peninsula de Setubal

Sercial

On the nose the Manda Chuva frmo Heredade de Portocarro is very mineral-like with saline tinges and white fleshed fruits. The palate is imposing, assertive and has superb minerality.  This complex white wine will continue to develop with a few years in bottle, but whilst young taking a sip is just like taking a dip in the Atlantic!

Palomino

The Barbadillo Palomino Castillo de San Diego is crisp, fresh and unfortified!  This dry, refreshing white is a great example of the Sherry regions principle grape variety.  The wine is perfect spring/summer quaffing and a great stepping stone to appreciating the more complex, fortified and solera aged versions from DO Jerez.
