Sugrue South Downs Bonkers V2 English White Wine, Sussex, England

The solera continues – our fastest-selling wine returns. A blend of fruit from 2022, 2023, and 2024, Bonkers V2 is a purer, more elegant, and salty expression of Chardonnay, but with that same patina of oak and deliciously creamy texture that we, you, and the critics adored about V1.

Whole-bunch pressed. Equal parts French and American oak of various cooperage and size. A small proportion of barrels were allowed to develop flor.

Bonkers is that friend you have who just gets on with almost everyone. Classic combinations include pan-fried scallops, roast chicken with morels, porcini risotto, and Alpine cheeses such as Comté or Gruyère. If you want to go off piste, try it with miso-glazed black cod or even sushi.
