Lyme Bay, Chardonnay, 2021

Pale gold in the glass, the wine opens with aromas of lemon curd, green apple, and white peach, laced with hints of flint, hazelnut, and subtle oak toast. On the palate, it’s finely textured and vibrant, showing a taut core of citrus and orchard fruit balanced by crisp acidity and a creamy, mineral-driven finish. 

Lyme Bay Winery in Devon is at the forefront of English still wine production, sourcing fruit from top vineyard sites in warmer counties like Essex and Kent. Their Chardonnay 2021 reflects a cool-climate, Burgundian-inspired style with a focus on purity, texture, and restrained oak.
