From one block, nearing 40 years old, organic since '99; fermented wild in oak, 20% new, mlf blocked. Wood provides a savoury overlay here, not overdone, and not in a glossy new oak way, but rather with the older oak chiming in to give it a nutty, stone fruit kernel character. There’s engaging tautness through the palate, with drive and freshness, plus the continuation of that savouriness accenting white nectarine and citrus notes, a little spice detailing.
91 points, Silver.

Battle of Bosworth Chardonnay 2024
A delicious, complex and full-flavoured Chardonnay with nut, stone fruit and a hint of citrus on the nose. The Bosworth Chardonnay has a delicious citrus finish; it's a proper Chardonnay!
