Tasting Notes
Dark Horse Chardonnay offers bright, abundant aromas of baked apple and peaches, layered with buttery notes of toasted oak and caramel. Its rich flavours are nicely complemented by refreshingly crisp acidity, culminating in a smooth, lingering finish
History
At Dark Horse Wine, we wholeheartedly believe that fortune favours the bold. Winemaker Beth Liston marshals the best agricultural and winemaking resources from around the globe to deliver the unexpected: a bold wine that outperforms its price.
Regional Information
Modern winemaking comes with an arsenal of tools and technology, but nothing will turn mediocre grapes into a winning wine. So, we started with one of the world's best growing regions, California, and built strong partnerships with hundreds of grape growers across the state. We work closely with them all year long, walking the vineyards with them and tasting grapes on the vine. When harvest arrives, we have our first pick of those grapes from over 400 growers.

Vinification Details
The grapes for our Dark Horse Chardonnay were harvested during low night temperatures to preserve fresh fruit flavours. Fermentation occurred at temperatures between 56°-64°F with selected aromatic yeast resulting in intense aromatics and an expressive mouthfeel. Following fermentation, the wine was aged on oak to increase the aromatic complexity and the mouth weight.

Needs to be served with food.

Bought this after seeing promoted on Instagram. For the price it is fine. Definitely not high quality. The oak has given this a strong vanilla flavor which gives it quite a sweetness although it does still have good acidity to balance it out. It goes better with food and is good with strong umami flavors. The first bottle I had was better than the most recent vintage which was slightly sweeter. not sure if i would buy it again.

Absolutely vile sugary chardonnay

I love chardonnay. This chardonnay has the highest residual sugar of any chardonnay that I have ever tested & I have had quite a few from various price points . The taste is sweet, synthetic, just absolutely awful. Save your pennies & go for a South African chardonnay/Australian chardonnay or a Chablis( made from chardonnay grape).

Nice Chardonnay but watch pricing

I buy this on special but several times the offer is not fulfilled. I let it go originally but now (the past two weeks) I've had to request a refund. Shouldn't have to do this.

Great value for money

For less than £10 this is a great Chardonnay. Just enough body to be easy to drink with everything. Nice amount of Oak. This might be my new favourite wine.
