Still by Hattingley (England) Chardonnay 2022 ($34)

Nov 6, 2024

Wine label

One of the first in the portfolio made by current winemaker Robert MacCulloch MW (Master of Wine – nice get!) and it’s the sort of wine that is remaking the category and getting thousands to drop their ABC (anything but Chardonnay) membership. With less than one gram per liter of residual sugar, the wine bursts with acidity, yet remains fruit focused, with apple and citrus, soft herb character and a finish that really hangs in. It may take your palate a second to adjust, but trust me – take that second and see what English Chardonnay can be.
