Floral and aromatic award winning Chardonnay

View full details

Birchden Vineyards’ Chardonnay celebrates the unexpected beauty that comes from challenging perceptions and a willingness to look beyond the surface. Grown in the chalk-rich soils of Whitewolfe Vineyards in Kits Coty and meticulously crafted by winemaker Ben Smith, the cool Kent climate produces a light to medium-bodied wine that is both crisp and elegant.

Anything but ugly, this duckling was a swan all along.
