Beringer Private Reserve Chardonnay

"To enhance the natural richness of our Chardonnay, we fermented the juice in predominately new French oak barrels. Weekly lees stirring enhanced the toasty notes, and integrated the oak flavors for an overall balance, while complete malolactic fermentation encouraged lush creaminess. After 9 months aging, our winemaker chose the most expressive lots and blended them to create a richly layered wine with aromas of crème Brulé and rich citrus and fruit flavors."-Winemaker
