White #Kent #wine from England: 2010 #organic: http://tinyurl.com/3qjhotd

Wine name: Chardonnay. Producer: Meopham Valley Vineyard. Vintage: 2010. Purchased from vineyard. Appearance medium and slightly receding on glass, this is very very pale for a chardonnay – almost water-like with like a chablis aromatics. The attack is crisp and concentrated. Evolution: Incredibly juicy and minerally, this tastes like a Chablis Grand Cru with a finish which is green apples in the nose, crisp minerality on the swallow. Sweetness: 0. Acidity: 4.5. Tannin: 0 with a texture which is buffered water and the length is excellent. As for balance, it's a little sharper than i'd expect from a chardonnay but actually beautifully crisp and acidic to cut through a fatty meal. The wine has a screwcap closure and is 12% abv. Overall, this wine is: Very nice and nothing like I expected. Some advice would be to just soften this a little, but generally it's tasty!. My score (which is NOT the same as Robert Parker's!) is 84 points.
