Nathan Kendall Chardonnay 2022
White 12% ABV ABV Nathan KendallBirthday treat that delivered
Got this as a birthday present to myself because I'd heard good things about Nathan Kendall. Only 12% ABV which I liked — you can actually have a couple of glasses without feeling rough. Clean finish that keeps you coming back for more. Would definitely buy again for a special occasion.
Not your typical Chardonnay
I'm usually a red drinker but my partner ordered this at a restaurant and I kept stealing sips. Really focused and structured without being boring. The fruit is there but it's not sweet or over the top. Tracked down a bottle for home and it's just as good.
Nice but steep price
The wine shop guy recommended this and it's a solid Chardonnay — none of that heavy oaky butter bomb stuff, more restrained and elegant. Good acidity, nice depth that builds as you drink it. But nearly £47 for a bottle? I'd want it closer to £35 before I'd buy it again.
Really impressed with this one
Picked this up for a dinner party and it was the star of the night. Super clean and crisp with lovely acidity — went perfectly with the roast chicken. The finish just lingers in the best way. At £46 it's not cheap but honestly felt worth it for a special occasion.
