Bonkers (full name: Bonkers Zombie Robot Alien Monsters from the Future Ate My Brain (sur lie)) is a multi-dimensional, solera-aged Chardonnay: rich, creamy and savoury with a nutty, honeyed complexity from its elevage in large and small barrels, old and new. A touch of carefully controlled oxidation is balanced by a freshness and fine structure, offering delicious drinking now, as well as potential for ageing.
“Lots of acidity and depth with a kiss of oak and massive grip on the palate. Sui generis. Not trying to be a white Burgundy, but an excellent wine that should appeal to the natural crowd. Impressive persistence and a freshness [...] that suggests it should have quite a long life. A new chapter in English winemaking? Hugely distinctive! 16.5+ points, 2024-2030.”
