Located in a protected valley, Tarraford Vineyard has a discreet microclimate, that is cooler than neighbouring sites. Although located in a warmer part of the valley, the site produces Chardonnay with high natural acids (and low pH) expressing itself through a characteristically long palate, fine tight structure and a zesty lemon/grapefruit finish. A complete and enjoyable glass of wine.

Tarraford has a long life ahead of it and is quite young now. If you do crack it open, sip just below room temperature to get the full effects of the fruit purity (peach and lemon), fresh flowers, structured, toasty oak and subtle saline notes. There's a bracing amount of acidity on the palate but it eventually slithers its way to the midpalate, integrating with the slippery texture and oak influence. Drink now–2030.
