The Wine The Wine
England
Region:Essex
Named after calcium, the twentieth element, Element 20 comes from chalk rich soils in Surrey, strikingly similar to those of Burgundy and Champagne. These conditions shape ultra premium English wines of finesse and depth. Crafted to showcase the potential of age worthy English still wine, Element 20 balances freshness, complexity and elegance, offering orchard fruit, candied lemon peel, coconut and blossom layered over a mineral core with rounded texture and a long, graceful finish.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
John Worontschak
John has been making English wine since 1988. In 2010 he decided to create the first Litmus wine, Element 20. The concept was to move away from the traditional fruity and often one-dimensional English wine styles and create something a lot more complex and age-worthy.
"The 2018 Element 20 is made solely from Chardonnay, fermented and aged in 2- to 5-year-old French oak barriques for 12 months and left on full lees prior to bottling in September 2019. Complex, mature, elegant, and stylish there is a flintiness on the nose that carries through to a gracefully oaked full-bodied wine with a balancing acidity and a fine long, creamy, and persistent finish that pairs well with seafood and vegetarian dishes." - John Worontschak, Winemaker.
