Muddy Water Chardonnay

Muddy Water don’t do heavy-handed buttery Chardonnay. Instead they favour a more classic Burgundy-style approach of producing a brighter, crisper Chardonnay revealing the soil character. Typically the Muddy Water Chardonnays show citrus and stone-fruit notes underpinned by a mineral streak imbued by the limestone. Hand picking only the ripest bunches the rows are picked individually in small lots to give a range of flavours to be blended together in the winery. The fruit is whole bunch pressed before settling overnight and transferring to French oak barrels. No additives are used, and the wine is bottled without fining. Lemon in colour with flecks of gold. Concentrated complexity on the nose with barbecued corn husk, white peach and bran. Palate is precise with exotic spice balanced with fruit and a lengthy mineral spine.

We aim to to have your delivery with you within 5-7 working days of receiving your order, but often it can be much sooner. If you need your order by a certain date please get in touch and we'll do our best to get it to you as required.

 

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
