Beringer Bros. 2019 Bourbon Barrel Aged Chardonnay

Description

Beringer Bros. Bourbon Barrel Aged California Chardonnay White Wine is aged 60 days in American oak bourbon barrels to evoke tempting spice and butter notes. Ripe and rich pear, apple, and apricot flavors round out this balanced and textured Chardonnay wine. 145 years ago, brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer left Germany to found a winery and distillery in Napa. Reusing their spirits barrels to age wine just seemed like good financial sense, but they discovered it added a whole new level of complexity. Today, we honor Jacob and Fredericks pioneering spirit by aging Beringer Bros. wines in spirits barrels.

Tasting Notes

This wine showcases a bouquet of ripe apricot, vanilla bean, and butterscotch. Creamy and mouth-coating, the palate evokes apple pie and vanilla ice cream with caramel coming through on alingering finish.
