Bonkers V2 is a still English Chardonnay from Sugrue South Downs, the Sussex winery founded by Dermot Sugrue. It is made entirely from Chardonnay and blends fruit from 2022, 2023 and 2024, grown in vineyards across East Sussex, West Sussex and Kent. The grapes are whole-bunch pressed, then fermented and matured in French and American oak of various sizes, with a small share of barrels allowed to develop flor. Controlled oxidation adds to a style that sits between white Burgundy, Chablis and the chalky freshness of the South Downs. Expect chalk, lemon, green apple and brioche on the nose, a silky palate of citrus and orchard fruit, and a long, saline finish.
