Whitewolfe Estates KC2 Chardonnay 2023
£36.75
The wine
An intense nose of lemon curd, pastry and vanilla. Medium bodied, with fresh lemon behind.
KC2 and KC4 are two clones of Chardonnay grown in the same vineyard and bottled separately, so what separates them is plant material rather than ground. Clonal selection is one of the least visible decisions in winemaking and one of the most consequential: two clones on identical soil can give quite different wines. Whitewolfe Estates work a south-facing vineyard whose microclimate protects it against heat spikes, so the fruit ripens steadily rather than in bursts.
