Gusbourne Estate, Guinevere, England, United Kingdom, 2017

Aged in 20% new French oak for 10 months, the 2017 'Guinevere' Chardonnay has a pronounced sweet vanilla, yellow apple and creamy brioche perfume with notes of thyme and flint. Saline and buttery on the palate, with concentrated vanilla, ripe yellow apple, pear drop and lime-like acidity, dusted with wood spices; butterscotch flavours linger on.
