Ham Street, Chardonnay 2022
Place: Kent, England
Grape: Chardonnay
Vibe: Natural + Moreish
This is the second bottling from the extremely limited, small-batch barrel releases over at Ham Street. This has seen both fermentation and aging of 20 months in Burgundy barrels before bottling in summer, 2024. I love what barrels do to wines without any additions and I reckon this will integrate beautifully over time. There is a richness rarely found in wines from our own shores atop the distinctly brisk Kentish acidity. Hardly any of this made so go hard whilst you still have the chance. ABV: 12%
