Another tip of the hat to just how versatile Chardonnay can really be! This unoaked style is alive with notes of green apple, ripe melon and mango aromas. It is as clean as a whistle, with lovely taut, crisp acidity with a touch of warmth that one expects from the south of France. The texture is soft and silky, with excellent purity of fruit from top to bottom.

La Reverence is another project between David Rowledge of Alchemy wines and the talented Boris Kovac. The idea behind this range is to produce friendly, pure and approachable single-variety wines that are an excellent showcase of not only the varietal but the parts of southern France in which they hail from. The duo have outstanding and long-lasting relationships with a number of high-quality growers from the region stretching from Nezingnan L’eveque (East of Beziers) to Limoux (west of Carcassonne) and St Hippolite in the south near Perpignan. These longstanding connections give them access to high-quality grapes and allow them to make wines that punch above their weight. Boris is a true artist with his winemaking skills and knowledge of the region and he is very much sought after in the Languedoc as he works with a number of growers and brands to bring their wines to life.
