Chardonnay 2022, Artelium, West Sussex

Bright orchard fruits are lifted by lemon citrus, giving a lively and refreshing first impression. Subtle hints of beeswax and chamomile bring gentle refinement, while on the palate green apple and citrus zest lead with bright acidity. A juicy texture carries the flavours with energy, before a long, focused finish that is both mouthwatering and moreish.

Artelium is an artisanal wine producer based in the Sussex countryside, where they create fine English wines using traditional methods.

The grapes were whole bunch pressed before being cold settled for 36 hours. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness, then stabilised and filtered prior to bottling.
