Place the William Hill Chardonnay in the refrigerator for 45–60 minutes before serving (target serving temperature ~48–54°F / 9–12°C). If you need it chilled faster, place the bottle in an ice bucket filled with equal parts ice and water for 15–20 minutes.

Chill bottle

Remove the bottle from refrigeration. Check the label and cork to ensure the bottle is in good condition. Wipe the bottle neck with a clean cloth if needed.

Inspect cork and label

Using a waiter’s corkscrew or wine key, cut and remove the foil, then gently remove the cork. Wipe the bottle lip with a clean cloth or napkin.

Open bottle

Chardonnay of this style typically does not require decanting. If desired to soften oak or release more aromatics, pour the wine into a decanter and let it sit for 10–20 minutes.

Decanting (optional)

Pour 4–6 oz (120–180 ml) of wine into an appropriate white wine glass per guest, filling to the widest part of the glass to allow aroma delivery.

Pour

Place a thin apple slice on the rim of the glass or serve apple slices on a small plate alongside the glass to echo the wine’s baked apple notes. If using, lightly toast sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and serve a small pinch alongside the wine to highlight the toasty oak and caramel elements.

Serve with light accoutrements

Note the layered baked apple and stone fruit character on the palate, with toasty oak, caramel, and brown spice lingering on the finish. Encourage tasting at the recommended temperature to best experience balance and oak integration.
