This Chapel Down Chardonnay Reserve 2010 is an elegant and refreshing white wine with a straw-yellowish hue. This English white wine is made to be served with seafood and salad. We think that we have something very special at Chapel Down. We have assembled a team of highly professional, talented people, who share an ambition to create truly world-class, interesting, distinctive and award-winning wines that will surprise and delight the most discerning consumers. The secret of our success lies in the fact that the fundamentals of geology, soil and aspect are married with a desire to work with enthusiastic partners, who have the potential to develop great vineyards and good businesses. The south of England shares almost identical geology and soils to the Champagne region, with a chalk seam typified by the North and South Downs of Kent and Sussex and excellent well drained soils in Essex and The Weald. Working together, we ensure that only the very best fruit arrives at the winery in Tenterden to make the very best wine possible from the grapes. Every year, we get better at what we do, and every year, we learn how to do it better still. Every day, we try to go to bed knowing just a little more than when we woke. We know we are lucky and privileged to do this in a beautiful environment in The Garden of England and that we have a responsibility to protect and improve this inspiring area. We believe that England remains one of the most tolerant, enterprising, ingenious, creative, stylish, energizing and occasionally eccentric places on Earth. They are English values. They are Chapel Down's values. Chapel Down is rapidly establishing itself as a world-class premium wine brand and is gaining national and international recognition.
