William Hill Napa Chardonnay (75cl, 14.2%)

William Hill Napa Chardonnay is a barrel-fermented Chardonnay from Napa Valley, California, made by William Hill Estate Winery. The grapes are whole cluster pressed and fermented in American oak, with 30% new barrels, and the wine undergoes 100% malolactic fermentation. Fruit comes from select vineyards across St. Helena, Carneros and the broader Napa Valley floor. It is bottled in a 750ml bottle at 14.2% ABV. On the nose there is warm caramel and vanilla over citrus and toasted oak, with ripe stone fruit and brown spice. The palate is lush and creamy, with ripe pear, baked apple, grilled peach and butterscotch, supported by toasty oak and baking spice. The finish is moderately long, with lemon zest, caramel and spice.
