Chardonnay 2021 (Bogle)

Cellar for up to 6 years. Serve chilled. This delicious Californian Chardonnay is guaranteed to please lovers of big, buttery white wines. The Bogle family ferment 50% of this wine in oak barrels and mature the wine in oak for 9 months to add complexity, a rich creamy texture, and seductive notes of brioche, toast and roasted almonds. On the nose there are hints of white peach, apricot and lemon zest while the palate offers a full body, soft tannins, and a very long finish. The bold flavour makes this punchy white a great match for creamy chicken and fish dishes as well as risottos and fresh pasta. The Bogle family have been farming in Clarksburg since the 1870s when their ancestor Captain AJ Boyle left his native Tennessee after the Civil War to make a new life in California. Several generations later the family began growing grapes which they sold to local wineries before finally deciding to bottle and sell their own wines. These days the winery is in the capable hands of the sixth generation of Bogles, the three siblings Warren, Jody and Ryan, who are leading the family business into the future with a focus on sustainability and environmentally-friendly practices.
