Tasting Note:
There is an almost viscous quality to the wine, a lemon pale gold colour and a fine and sustained bead. A rich nose of lime blossom with hints of honey and green apple. The palate is wrapped around a lime citrus core with pear and honey showing. The finish offers fabulous hints of lime, salt, and white pepper. An utterly delicious and uniquely Balfour wine.
Nose: Clean and fresh with a touch of autolysis, white pepper and dried herbs
Palate: The palate is wrapped around a lime citrus core with pear showing. The finish offers fabulous hints of lime, salt and white pepper.
Background information: Across a range of Kentish clay and chalk soils, only the best Chardonnay from Balfour’s top vineyards are found in this stunning wine. This vintage Blanc de Blancs from the fabulous 2018 harvest is only the third to be produced by Balfour in its 20-year history. A style which requires the very best conditions and ripest of fruit.

Fish and chips or oysters but also a fabulous match with Tunworth cheese.
