Bonterra Vineyards Chardonnay 2017

Mendocino County, California, United StatesBonterra is made with certified organic fruit from Mendocino County. Just over two thirds of the juice is barrel fermented in French and American oak and undergoes malolactic fermentation to create a creamy palate. The remaining fruit is tank fermented in stainless steel to preserve the crisp fresh fruit of Mendocino. Most of the wine is aged in older barrels or neutral oak containers, again to the let the fruit shine. The attack is ripe and rich with honeyed tropical fruit and a lemon crème brûlée-like undercurrent. Best with crab or lobster dishes, or with popcorn and a movie.Tasted: 23 February 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
