More about this wine
Alliance Wine
Founded in 1984. by Christian Bouteiller and Jonathan Kennett, the team already has two Master of Wine winners - Fergal Tynan M.W and Giles Cooke M.W. The company's home is Beith, Ayrshire, Scotland and from this simple idyllic village, today Alliance Wines has grown into one of the leading suppliers of wine in the United Kingdom. They import wine from over 20 countries around the world and represent over 200 producers. Tireless in their pursuit of the extraordinary and thirsty for wines with soul and personality, it is no surprise that they focus and turn to the creation and cultivation of their own wines. This passion leads them to search for specific terroirs and - for now - they make wine in Australia, Spain, France and Chile.

Chardonnay
Chardonnay is the world's most famous white-wine grape and also one of the most widely planted. Of course, the most highly regarded expressions of the variety are those from Burgundy and California, but many high-quality examples are made in Italy, Australia, New Zealand and parts of South America. Describing the flavours of Chardonnay is not easy. This is not thanks to the complexity of the varietal itself but usually due its susceptibility to winemaking techniques - such as Malolactic fermentation which gives distinctive buttery aromas or Fermentation or maturation in oak barrels which contributes to the wine with smokey notes of vanilla, honey and even cinnamon, and not last the lees contact while in barrel imparts biscuity, doughy flavours. And all these incorporated with the varietal aromas of tropical (banana, pineapple and guava) to stone fruits (peach, nectarine and apricot), sometimes even citrus and apple notes. Climate plays a major role in dictating which fruit flavours a Chardonnay will have - warm regions (California, Australia ) make more tropical styles; temperate zones (southern Burgundy, New Zealand) - stone fruit notes, while the very coolest (Chablis, Champagne) lean towards green-apple aromas.
