Custard apple, clementine and light honeysuckle open the nose, followed by ripe orchard fruit, subtle spice and a gentle creamy note that gives the wine its lovely breadth. The palate is rich but finely balanced, with pear, baked apple and citrus all carried by a crisp, complex framework that keeps everything lifted and precise. There is texture here, certainly, but the finish stays fresh, elegant and quietly mineral, making the wine feel both comforting and beautifully composed. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"709\" data-end=\"1047\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"709\" data-end=\"722\"\u003eFor when:\u003c\/strong\u003e the food is elegant, the weather is bright, and the white needs both charm and substance.\u003cbr data-start=\"812\" data-end=\"815\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"815\" data-end=\"830\"\u003ePairs with:\u003c\/strong\u003e roast chicken, grilled seafood, creamy fish dishes, or mushroom risotto with herbs.\u003cbr data-start=\"914\" data-end=\"917\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"917\" data-end=\"947\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eIf this wine were a place:\u003c\/strong\u003e a sunlit English orchard in early autumn, where the air feels cool, but the fruit is perfectly ripe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1049\" data-end=\"1569\"\u003eLyme Bay Winery has become one of the most exciting names in modern English still wine, helping push the category well beyond its once modest reputation. Working with carefully sourced fruit, particularly from Essex, the winery has built a style based on ripeness, balance and precision, and this Chardonnay shows that beautifully. Elegant, lightly oaked and structured enough to age, it captures the confidence and growing quality of English Chardonnay at exactly the right moment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54799821865345,"sku":null,"price":29.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/lymeChard.png?v=1780416987","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2022-chardonnay-lyme-bay","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
