Made for M&S by Jamie Marfell. Montana Winery, from 100% Chardonnay.

Extensive shoot and crop thinning. Both machine and hand leaf-plucking gives fruit greater exposure to sunlight. The grapes are crushed directly in bag-presses with no skin contact. Only free-run juice is used and this is fermented at cool temperatures with selected yeasts. This wine is unoaked.
– 150 stores.


Ripe fruit and a very strong vanilla smell. Very hard to believe this isn’t oak aged. Green and savoury in the mouth. Just my sort of wine. Full with plenty of fruit but ultimately dry and pithy. Yum
