Lifted and vibrant aromas of red fruits and red roses, as well as a hint of potpourri. Red fruits are certainly the theme on the palate too, with a nice tension keeping things tight and bright.

Only ever bottled in tiny quantities, the 2016 Thompson Chardonnay seems to be our most aromatics release, with an abundance of florals, from lavender through to chamomile, together with an array of different dried herbs. 

The 2017 vintage release is certainly living up to what we expect from this vineyard, but with that little bit extra. It is a Chardonnay that feels very much together with fruit and acid balance and many dimensions.
