This “Vinum” series from Radford Dale is fermented in oak, however the oak it uses is no fresher than third use. This gives the wine a touch of brioche like warmth, but otherwise it remains quite tight with it’s acid and fruit profile - which is dominated with citrus and apple. The finish is particularly sharp with crisp minerality. It’s a great example of the idea that no matter what your preferences, there’s a Chardonnay out there for you - so be sure to try as many as you can!
