The 2020 season was a bit of a rollercoaster, beginning with a very cold winter into a cool wet Spring, a dry and warm December and then a mild February/March punctuated by a few rain events. The cool Spring delivered very low yields across the Chardonnay blocks, primarily driven by tighter, smaller bunches – the consequence of which is naturally high acidity and fresh savory flavors.

Blend: 100% Chardonnay

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.

Quite a different take this vintage, as it should be, with its lavender, white blossom and poached quince characters coming through. Lime oil and stone fruit, creamy leesy flavours to the fore on the fuller-bodied palate, yet everything sits well, with acidity keeping everything in check.
