Finding value in California wine is no easy task here in the UK, with import costs and duty hikes sending prices sky high. A few producers, however, manage to produce high-quality wines at eminently affordable prices. Foremost among them are Backhouse, a label of O’Neill vintners dedicated to producing affordable, yet delicious, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

Bright and refreshing with a refined texture, this Chardonnay bursts with notes of orchard fruit and citrus, alongside subtle hints of vanilla and oak spice. Sourced from vineyards across the Central Coast region, this is one of the best California Chardonnays we’ve tasted at this price point.
