Simpsons Gravel Castle Chardonnay image

Simpsons Gravel Castle Chardonnay

Kent, England

This nods to the fresh, mineral driven wines of Chablis whilst still retaining its British identity. Light citrus, ripe apple and pear aromas follow on a cream palate enhanced by a period of lees ageing.

Simpsons Gravel Castle Chardonnay is an unoaked English white wine from Kent’s North Downs. Made from Burgundian Chardonnay clones grown on chalky soils, it offers a crisp, fruit-forward profile. Fermented in stainless steel and aged on lees with regular stirring, this wine balances freshness with texture.

Aromas of white blossom and flinty minerality, with notes of orchard fruit and persimmon. The palate is refreshing, featuring lime zest, tropical fruit, and a hint of cape gooseberry, leading to a textured finish.

Contains sulphites.

  • Grilled seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta, soft cheeses, and fresh salads.

Named after a nearby historic site, Gravel Castle Chardonnay reflects the potential of English still wines, showcasing the unique terroir of Kent's chalky soils.
