Covepoint Chardonnay

Lyme Bay Winery, Musbury, Devon, UK · 12% ABV

Crafted by the fantastic Lyme Bay Winery, from the finest English grapes, this is a rich, elegant white with expressive aromas of melon, lifted tangerine, orange blossom, and delicate floral notes. On the palate, it's moderately weighty with a bright citrus-driven acidity, complemented by ripe melon and white stone fruit. A very subtle oak component brings a gentle touch of vanilla, adding depth and roundness to the finish.
