BV Beaulieu Vineyard Reserve Carneros Chardonnay

$29.98

Our 2019 Reserve Carneros Chardonnay offers lovely vibrant citrus aromas with fresh apple, citrus blossom, honeysuckle and subtle hints of brioche and butter. On the palate there are layers of creamy lemon curd, candied lemon peel, crisp green apple with a kiss of white pepper spice. The oak shows nuances of graham cracker crust and is a pleasant backdrop supporting the core of crisp acidity and fruit underpinning the overall round and mouth-watering complexity of the wine, leading to a long, dry, clean, refreshing finish. The inviting aromas, flavors, creamy texture and persistent acidity show a well-integrated wine that is incredibly food friendly pairing with all of your favorite meals.

Description

We harvested the Chardonnay grapes into small bins at night and rushed them to our winery. After gently pressing the whole clusters, we barrel fermented thirty percent of the wine in small oak barrels to add layers of flavor and texture complexity, while the remaining blend was fermented in stainless steel tanks. Once in barrel, stirring the lees (yeast) during the 10 months of aging enhanced the silky mouthfeel, and integrated creamy nuances from partial malolactic fermentation.
