Owen Bargreen – 2018 Tendril Enchanter Chardonnay
The 2018 ‘Enchanter’ Chardonnay spent more than fifteen months in mostly neutral oak barrels before bottling. This comes off absolutely seamless on the mouth, with Meyer lemon zest dusted sourdough bread, cloves, peat moss and white rose water tones on the palate. Complex and delicious to consume now, this has both the weight and finesse to cellar well for another eight to ten years. Drink 2022-2030
