Category: Discovery Series

Our winemaking team are continually experimenting with different varieties and styles, releasing limited parcels under the ‘Discovery Series’ label. This collection of vibrant English wines celebrates the art of English winemaking.

This unique Chardonnay is made from a highly aromatic clone as part of our continuing exploration of what the variety can achieve in our cool maritime climate.

Classic Chardonnay aromas of apple and melon are complemented by delicate notes of rose and lychee. The palate is smooth and well balanced with a crisp and fresh finish. 

A perfect pairing with oily fish such as salmon or mackerel.

Charlotte ★★★★★

I grabbed this on a whim and it exceeded expectations—the winemaking team clearly put real effort into the experimentation here. It’s a limited parcel wine that feels special to drink, with a lively character that made it disappear way too fast.

Penelope ★★★★★

Crisp and refreshing, but with enough body to stand up to a creamy pasta dish—this limited-release Chardonnay has that lovely English vibrancy the label promises. I've already ordered another bottle to see how it ages over the next year.

Carter ★★★★★

Opened this on a random Tuesday night and it didn't last the evening—such a lively, vibrant pour that feels like a proper experiment that paid off. The brightness is what got me, crisp and refreshing with enough character to keep you curious.
