Philip Shaw ‘The Architect’ Chardonnay emilia-romagna Spontaneously fermented in an open

Spontaneously fermented in an open wooden vat with 10 to 15 whole clusters

complex aromas which come through in the mouth with soft notes of red and blue berries

This is a chardonnay for our time – modish and wholesome

with plenty of mouth feel and grip which looks like a 2022 trait

which gives less structure and aging potential

Bright citrusy acidity gives the wine clarity and drive. Chardonnay is a perfect wine to pair with fresh white fish or fresh shellfish (oysters with a splash of lemon juice are a big tick) and grilled prawns
