In the most unlikely of places – a railway arch near Battersea power – Sergio and Lynsey Perrillo of Blackbook Winery make magic using craft winemaking techniques and – you guessed it – super-ripe, quality grapes grown in the Crouch Valley in Essex.
A fine and elegant Chardonnay from Clayhill Vineyard, with citrus and honeydew melon aromas enhanced by subtle toffee and toasted almond nuances. Textured on the palate, the refreshing citrus and tropical flavours are underlined by a smoky, flint character and it finishes on a delicious saline note.
