The 2018 Reserve Chardonnay is a blend of three very special vineyards; Gainsborough Park (50%), KBS (30%) and Stonier’s original Thompson Vineyard (20%), representing vines between 27 and 40 years old.

The slightly warmer 2018 vintage has produced a lovely rounded and flavoursome Chardonnay, with more white plum and peach, rather than the normal citrus lemon. There is some nice puckering, savoury firmness, with a prominent creamy texture, thanks to some extra lees stirring, leading to quite a delicious wine.
