“SPOKE Amped Chardonnay is a grand, swaggering, Pouilly-Fuissé-bashing beauty, a glorious organic wine and bargain to boot” Matthew Jukes.
SPOKE Amped Chardonnay is a combination of handpicked Chardonnay clones, whole bunch pressed to get a relatively clean juice straight away. The skins have not been broken prior to crushing, so it has had little time to oxidise. The ferment then starts with wild yeasts, rather than being inoculated with cultured yeasts.

Tasting Note
Lemon gold
Bruised green apple notes, stone fruit and almond dominate the nose with a hint of white flowers and honey.
Noticeably dry, despite its obvious richness and complexity with the aromatic profile of the nose following through. The wine is pinned together by minerality and phenolic texture rather than acidity as such and is delicious for it. Very good now, it will evolve over the next five years.
