London Cru, Chardonnay 2022

London Cru work with two vineyards – one site near Petworth, West Sussex which has very sandy soil resulting in low-yielding, highly aromatic ripe fruit. The second site, just 30 minutes away, was in West Marden, West Sussex which has a loamy flint-rich soil. Once in the cellar, the grapes were foot stomped in the press and given around 1 hour of maceration to extract flavour and texture from the skins. The wine was gently pressed and fermented with classic Burgundian yeast in neutral oak barrels. Full malolactic fermentation then took place to help build mouth feel and naturally soften the wine’s acidity. The wine was aged for 7 months in neutral oak barrels bought second-hand from Romaric of Domaine Chavy-Chouet.

Great wines made in London. Tucked away down a little alleyway in SW6, the London Cru Winery is based in an old Victorian warehouse which was once a gin distillery. Whilst our surroundings are historic, innovation is at our core and we house precision temperature-controlled tanks and state-of-the-art winemaking facilities. London Cru is owned by Cliff Roberson and was the first urban winery in London opening in 2013.
