Nathan Kendall Chardonnay 2022

Liam Anderson — Birthday treat that delivered

8/10

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.

Yasmine Najjar — Not your typical Chardonnay

8/10

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.

Zara Al-Hassan — Nice but steep price

7/10

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.
