NV BONKERS ZOMBIE ROBOT ALIEN MONSTERS FROM THE FUTURE ATE MY BRAIN (SUR LIE)

TRY ME IF YOU LOVE: Chardonnay

ABV: 12.0%

GRAPES: 100% Chardonnay

TASTING NOTES: A complex, solera-aged still Chardonnay blending multiple vintages and aged in a mix of old and new oak barrels. Features notes of citrus zest, green apple, peach, melted butter, brioche, and flinty minerality with high, electric acidity and a creamy texture. Give this plenty of air and time and it will pay dividends.

PAIRS WITH: Rich seafood like pan-fried or grilled scallops, creamy poultry dishes, and nutty cheeses (think Comté or Gruyère) that match its vibrant acidity and creamy texture.

SERVE ME: Serve chilled. Stick in the fridge for a few hours. 

Dermot and Ana Sugrue make exceptional wines that crackle with energy. They’re vignerons in the traditional sense of the word, deeply rooted in their vineyards and the winemaking, they recently purchased Bee Tree Vineyard near Lewes where they're building their own winery.
