Bonterra Chardonnay – 750ml
Organic fruit offers the characteristic flavors of green apples, pears, and citrus to our chardonnay. We ferment 70% of the juice in a combination of French and American oak, which is allowed to undergo malolactic fermentation to create a rich, creamy wine with just a touch of new oak spice. The remaining 30% is fermented in stainless steel to preserve the crisp fresh fruit flavors. We age most of the wine using previously-used or neutral oak in order for these fresh fruit characteristics to shine through. New oak was used for just 15% of the wine to give this chardonnay a nice vanilla note. An initial impression of rich, buttery cream quickly turns to aromas of honey and lightly toasted almonds, followed by tropical aromas of pineapple, citrusy lemon and crème brulee. The wine is refreshing on the palate, with a minerality that is both bright and clean, drawing you into a vibrant tartness and lemon zest that is absolutely, positively Bonterra Chardonnay, vintage after vintage.

Bogle Chardonnay – 750ml
Chardonnay grapes grown in Clarksburg are known for their characteristic apple and pear aromas and flavors, with bright fruit purity and a refreshing lift that captures the region’s cool-climate elegance. Bogle winemakers have carefully preserved these delightful notes, guiding the wine through stainless steel fermentation to enhance their crisp, fruit-forward core while allowing the fruit to develop and intensify at a steady, measured pace. The result is a wine that presents lively freshness on the palate, where orchard fruit details take the lead and subtle mineral brightness adds structure. In addition to the stainless steel craft, a portion of the grape harvest is vinified using the techniques of barrel fermentation, sur lie aging, and partial malolactic fermentation. This approach introduces a complementary complexity that balances the bright fruit with richer, more nuanced layers. Barrel fermentation contributes gentle spice and toast, while sur lie aging imparts texture and a creamy, mouth-coating mouthfeel. Partial malolactic fermentation softens the wine’s acidity, adding a velvety roundness that broadens its appeal without dulling the fruit’s energy. The interplay of these methods yields an elegant counterpart to the fresh fruit notes, delivering hints of spicy vanilla and nutmeg that mingle gracefully with the core apple and pear character. The final impression is creamy and lush, yet poised, with a finish that lingers and evokes the comforting flavors of an apple and pear galette, leaving a clean, confident orchard-like finish that invites another sip.
