Bernardus Chardonnay, Monterey, California, United States 2020

Full, buttery and with beautiful fruit. To get a chardonnay of this quality, our winemaker chose grapes from two vineyards on the California coast: Arroyo Seco and Santa Lucia Highlands. The cool maritime climate ensures that the characteristics of the different grape varieties are well reflected. The grapes are harvested by hand and gently pressed. Fifty-seven percent is fermented in oak barrels, after which ninety percent of the grapes are aged in French oak barrels. After that, it is up to our winemakers to create the blend with their taste and experience. Monterey County Chardonnay is light golden yellow in color and has aromas of white flowers, acacia, exotic fruits and thanks to the - lagering on wood - vanilla.
