California Chardonnay
For more than 100 years, Beaulieu Vineyard has been setting the standard for rich, classic California wines. Its legacy honors the marriage between state-of-the-art technology and gentle, traditional winemaking methods, a combination that enhances the expression of its remarkable vineyard terroir. From the cool central coast to the warmer northern valley’s, Beaulieu Vineyard California wines reflect the diverse terroir with classic varietal character.
2015 Chardonnay shows classic varietal charm, delivering the perfect combination of pear, apple and ripe tropical fruit flavors woven together with toasty oak spices. Hints of citrus and a round mouthfeel finish out the palate, evolving in layers of pineapple, red apple and vanilla. Fermenting and aging for 4 months on French, Hungarian & American Oak along with lees stirring and partial malolactic fermentation lend depth and texture to the vibrant flavors.
