As with the Heritage, this was fully barrel fermented, before maturing in barrel for another ten months, with 35% new. This wine then received a further two months on lees in tank before bottling. A fine regional Chardonnay, a very pale lemon hue, this is fresh, well-structured and offering good energy. There are gentle spice notes, hints of nutmeg, grapefruits, oatmeal, stonefruit, lemongrass and ginger. Finely balanced, layered, with bright acidity and impressive length, it provides extremely attractive drinking now and for another four to eight years.

The Hancocks name traces its origins back to 1859 when Thomas Hancock purchased the Captain Cook Inn in Khyber Pass Road Newmarket. Hancocks originally started life as a brewer and publican.
The company went through many changes in its first 100 years, including the manufacture and distribution of spirits. Over the course of years the company changed names several times with the core of the company being the basis of what we now know as Lion.
