Essex Wine Review

Colchester Ridge Estate Winery (CREW)

Winemaker’s Notes:
The shimmering golden hue and aromas of baked apple and apricot with a hint of orange blossom entices you aboard this flagship. This unoaked chardonnay has characteristics of Royal Gala apple, dried apricot, a hint of mandarin orange, combined with a buttery mouth feel.

Rate and review CREW Flagship Chardonnay 2010

Colchester Ridge Estate Winery (CREW)

Winemaker’s Notes:
Our racy white chardonnay begins with an enticing nose of ripe green apple and orange blossom. Dry and crisp, this white wine follows through with a substantial hint of apple and pear, laced with lime. The firm minerality comprises a startlingly refreshing finish.

A citris and apple nose hearalds this fruit-driven unoaked Chardonnay that is refreshment in a glass. Honey Crisp apples and Bosc pear coupled with the palate pleasing minerality, balaces this crisp and bright white wine.

Pair with cream based dishes, summer salads, seafood and more.

Rate and review Viewpointe Chardonnay 2010

Winemaker’s Notes:
Hand picked from single varietal estate vineyard this Chardonnay is quality right from bud break to the bottle. This wine acquired a higher concentration of fruit to create a full bodied flavour bursting with fruit. The wine was cold fermented for 12 days, preserving all elements but the sugar.

Tasting Notes:
Caramel apple with lemon peel and tropical fruit on it’s long clean finish.
