Sugrue South Downs Bonkers V2 MAGNUM

A blend of 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. 

Crafted with even greater longevity in mind, we can’t wait to see how V2 develops over time.

Additional Information: 
Bonkers began as an embryo of an idea in the perfect 2022 vintage. Representing a unique take on English still Chardonnay, it employs a range of traditional and experimental winemaking techniques – fermentation in oak, ageing under flor, controlled oxidation, and blending vintages as well as a drop of Irish humour.

Bonkers V2 was a sleeper of a wine that would take time to come around. Now it has there was a wish more was bottled in magnum! Pure, crisp, and deliciously saline, this will make an eye-catching centrepiece on any dinner table. 

The solera lives on. So it goes.

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