This wine is still to be bottled and as such the advertised ABV may be subject to change on its eventual arrival and inspection into the U.K.

Felton Road’s Chardonnays are a real lesson in purity and tension, the style focusing on citrus fruit and blossom, a lovely mineral expression, and moreish barely ripe white peach. Saline, floral, taut, and utterly delicious, it has the structure for cellaring but is a joy to drink now. 0-5 years.

Felton Road

The first vineyard, Elms, was carefully selected by Stewart Elms in 1991 and planted the following year. Stewart decided to sell in 2000 and Nigel Greening, an ex-pat who had previously sold his British film production company to plant the Cornish Point Vineyard in Bannockburn, snapped it up.

Nigel kept the team in place including winemaker Blair Walter and viticulturist Gareth King. Every effort has been made to match grape varieties to soil types and the area has many tiny microclimates that make this easier to do. The Elms now extends to some 14 hectares.

About En Primeur

Lying Abroad/En Primeur/In Bond Wines

Wines offered ‘Lying Abroad’ or ‘En Primeur’ provide a good way to secure some of the most sought after wines at opening prices. In addition we ensure it is the cheapest way to buy favourite mid-priced wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Rhône, so please ask us for our offers or check our website for latest reports. Prices are clearly marked in our sales literature and are exclusive of duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT. Shipment of claret and Port normally takes place around 30 months after the vintage, burgundy and Rhône usually more quickly. A second invoice for the duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT on the value of the wine is charged at the time of shipment - view current duty rates. There are no further charges for deliveries to a UK mainland home or work address. Your Lying Abroad purchases are covered under The Bunch Code of Practice which can be sent on request or viewed here.
