BERNARDUS CHARDONNAY

About this famous California white wine:

• Vineyard: Bernardus
• Grape: Chardonnay
• Year: 2021
• Taste profile: The well-known Chardonnay, as the name suggests, is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes. It is aged in French oak for a remarkable 11 months. This imparts a robust and full-bodied character to Bernardus wine, with notes of butter, caramel, and yet that subtle freshness that makes this white Bernardus wine so special.
• Vinification: All Chardonnay grapes from Bernardus are handpicked by workers at the American vineyards, then selected and pressed. 90% of the Chardonnay is fermented in French oak barrels, 33% of which are new oak. The remaining 10% is fermented in stainless steel tanks.
• Wine region: California, Carmel Valley
• Food combination: Pairs wonderfully with oily fish like salmon, cheese platters, cream sauces, and lobster.
• Alcohol percentage: 14,5%
• Color: Yellow
