Golden Hour in a Glass
Step into the warmth of a Californian sunrise with The Sun Also Rise Chardonnay 2022, a wine that epitomises elegance and craftsmanship. Aged for 16 months in a thoughtful blend of 41% French oak, 9% once-used French oak, 47% neutral oak, and 3% acacia, this Chardonnay achieves a captivating balance of texture, complexity, and aromatic allure.
Tasting Notes
The nose is almost perfume-like, drawing you in with lime blossom, ginger, nutmeg, and cardamom, interwoven with the comforting warmth of toasted almond and freshly baked croissants. On the palate, tangerine cream and sun-kissed orchard fruits shine brightly, layered with a rich mineral density that adds depth and intrigue. The finish is hauntingly long, leaving a lasting impression of elegance.
Perfect Serve
This Chardonnay is perfect for pairing with dishes that celebrate richness and texture. Try it with lobster in a butter sauce, herb-crusted chicken, or wild mushroom risotto. For a lighter option, pair with roasted root vegetables or a creamy burrata salad. Serve lightly chilled to allow its nuances to unfold.
Artisan Craftsmanship
This wineās journey is a testament to artistry. After a light pressing and settling, the juice was fermented and aged sure lie in a combination of barrels and puncheons. Following 11 months of Ć©levage, the wine was transferred to stainless steel barrels with full lees for further development, allowing its vibrant character to blossom. The careful oak regime adds layers of spice, creaminess, and structure without overwhelming the fruit.

Great service from the he Wine Shop, really quick delivery well packed and the wine was splendid.
Wine Shop offered the best price and I can highly recommend them.
My first ever wine from the Wine Shop! This is a beautifully smooth wine but which also has a bit of ābiteā. Very happy with this wine and Iāll be back!
Bought this as a present for my 22 year old son who was 15 when he first had a taste on a D Day visit 7 years ago. The wine is just as I remembered it, smooth and round, a delicious drink. My son also enjoyed the taste, as an adult.
It doesnāt get better than this!
I love Botter chianti. It has a great peppery finish and the bottle is a delight. Quick and reliable delivery too.
Amazing wine and a 24 hours delivery service.
Excellent service. Thank you
Very moreish sparkling Pinot Grigio at a reasonable price. Light and refreshing with none of the acidity or slight chemical aftertaste you often get with sparkling wines at this price. Went through a dozen bottles far too quickly.
This full fruity , complex red is our absolute favourite!
A delightfully crisp NZ wine with a citrusy finish. Well worth the money and went down well with all who participated
This is a superb wine - full but not heavy, fruity and smooth. Perfect for sharing on an autumn evening.
Stunning depth and rich body. I can almost tell if a red wine is going to be good by the lack of a white rim around when you pour the glass. This has a lovely blood ted colour and delivers.
I'm just going to be honest here, I'm a Gavi Girl and have been trying to find this little gem for a while. It's absolutely delicious and so adaptable too. Thrilled with the price, delivery and service and happily ordering more!
A lovely drink and remarkably good value . Smooth and buttery with that unmistakable Napa terroir writ large. Nothing not to like.
Another fantastic wine tasting. But with a difference. Wine bottles concealed in black numbered bags 1-7. Black glasses. So we were unaware of what we were tasting, having to rely on taste and smell alone. We had tasting notes to guide our thoughts once we had made a few notes ourselves. It was great fun. I managed to at least figure out whether or not the wine was red. But missed the rose and mistook one white for red.
The Wine Shop tasting are great fun. Highly recommend.
Great evening getting confused and educated at the very interesting Mystery Wine Tasting with 7 secret wines in black bags to taste using black glasses so you couldnāt tell if it was white, rose, or red. Kelli and Caroline gave great guidance and helped us work through what we were smelling and tasting to get to a grape and country. My two fears were that (1) I wouldnāt recognise a Tempranillo (especially as it turned out to be one I have often purchased!) and (2) that Iād actually like a Merlot!!! (Luckily there wasnāt one š). Another brilliant wine tasting.
