INFO: Swanaford was planted by Ben and Caroline Goulden in 2013 following a move from London, with the ambition of making great English sparkling and still wines.
The release of their first 100% Chardonnay is testament to the quality of the 2023 harvest. Hand-picked from premium vines, this pale gold wine has notes of citrus and vanilla on the nose, with apple, white peach and lemon peel across the palate.
Beautifully balanced with bright acidity and a long mouth feel, the wine was aged in French oak and steel at a ratio of 80/20. This oak ageing is subtly reflected in the texture and finish of the wine
