Dijon clones 95 and 76; hand-picked and partially whole-bunch pressed, wild-yeast fermented in French hogsheads and puncheons (30% new) and matured for 10 months, then the finest barrels chosen for this wine. A classic white peach, pink grapefruit flavour, the palate long and racy. This is arguably one of the Best Chardonnay value for money on the market, I think 2024 may be perhaps the best Sidewood has produced to date. Drink to: 2030; Alcohol: 12%; Rating: 96 Points & Special Value Star; James Halliday Wine Companion
