Gutter & Stars 'Avalon' Chardonnay Pinot Gris 2023, Cambridge

31 available
£34.50
Our web price may vary from our shop prices.
This premium white blend sees Chardonnay from Whitewolfe Vineyard in Kent lifted with a dash of spicy Pinot Gris from Bromley Brook Vineyard in Essex to create a bright and glowing wine with ripe pear and white peach fruit, honeyed richness and precise acidity. Although the pinot Gris is a minor part of the blend, it still imparts an extra layer of flavour and spice which enhances the Chardonnay. Old oak barrels give the wine some texture. It is a wine that is both easy to enjoy now yet thought-provoking and dreamy, making the name all the more apt.

As with all winemaker Chris Wilson's wines, there is a reference to a significant song in his life. Avalon was one of Chris' dads favourite songs and this wine is named to remember him. Avalon is a 1982 single from lounge-rock/synth pop band Roxy Music. It comes from the band’s eighth and final studio album, also named Avalon. The Vale of Avalon in Somerset refers to the mystical region centered around Glastonbury, believed to be the legendary island of Avalon, a place of enchantment and King Arthur's final resting place. The Field of Avalon is one of Glastonbury Festival’s original areas, and offers festival-goers ‘an unbroken connection to the earthy Eden and the lively spirit of Albion fayre’.
