WINEMAKING & MATURATION
Crushed and pressed immediately after de-stemming, the juice was barrel-fermented in traditional 228-litre French oak barrels (70% new and 30% second, third and fourth fill) from selected Burgundian cooperages (Damy, Chassin and Rousseau). The barrels were inoculated with a selection of French yeast. A percentage of the wine went through natural fermentation. The wine was matured sur lie for 10 months, with regular barrel-rolling to accentuate the rich, leesy character.

Super oaky, creamy Chardonnay. Named after Richard Branson “someone went the whole 9 yards on this”.
Superb, yellow to orange colour. Creamy, too good!
Butterscotch, solid acid. And some almond.
Creamy mouthfeel from the oak barrels. Great chardonnay shared in 37 degree heat!
Strong sweet fruity nose. Body of apples and honey. Thick consistency, a great white wine.
"So great to be able to receive a regular delivery of good wine rather than the usual 12 bottle case sold by most 'wine clubs' "
- Terry Wharton Hood -
Great wine at a great time, everytime
