Why You'll Love It
A fine example of how good English still Chardonnay can be. Fresh apple and citrus meet gentle creaminess, smoky oak and a clean, long finish. More polished than showy, and excellent with roast chicken or richer fish.
About The Producer
Tidebrook is an English still-wine project based at Mousehall Country Estate near Wadhurst in East Sussex, in the wooded countryside between Mayfield and the High Weald. A series of traditional medieval staddle stones marks the edge of its Chardonnay vineyard and gives this wine its name. The estate's growing conditions offer cool-climate fruit with the natural acidity and measured ripeness needed for serious still Chardonnay. Gary and Kathy Jordan, whose South African winemaking experience includes Jordan Wine Estate in Stellenbosch, have helped shape the estate's ambitions. Gentle pressing, restrained French oak and careful lees work bring texture without hiding the freshness of the Sussex fruit.
Winemaking Information
The 2023 Staddle Stone is 100% Chardonnay from the Mousehall vineyard at Tidebrook in East Sussex. Whole clusters are gently pressed and fermented and aged in 228-litre French oak barrels for approximately ten months, with a small portion of tank-fermented wine included for freshness. The producer confirms 12.5% ABV. Sustainable vineyard farming and vegan suitability are supported by the 2023 IWSC record; organic certification is not claimed.
