Description

  • Oaked
  • Golden peach
  • Honeycomb & vanilla
  • Creamy

"Rich and opulent, the splendidly expressed bouquet shows golden peach, pineapple, vanillin oak and butterscotch characters, leading to a concentrated palate that’s generously weighted and expansive. It’s plush and lingering with a creamy delicious finish. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2020

Yellow-gold hue in the glass with a green apple and pear bouquet. These aromas classically characterise this wine as Clarksburg, while honeycomb and vanilla heighten the first impression. The rich, round entry rolls into a viscous and silky mouthfeel, surrounded by Asian pears and Honeycrisp apples. The finish lingers long and soft, like the wafting aromas of grandma’s warm apple pie.

Hand crafting wine is something Bogle winemakers have done for nearly 40 years now. With passion for both the art and science of making wine, they have created this Chardonnay using 50% barrel fermentation in new American oak barrels, sur lie aging, monthly batonage…all in an effort to create a delicious wine to grace your table.

Food Pairing: This is a particularly versatile food wine, which can be enjoyed with just about everything!

LOVELY FULL BODIED CHARDONNAY

John - 01/09/2020

Not normally a modern style Chardonnay drinker but this was recommended to me from a friend and it did not disappoint. Great smooth rounded taste that rattles around on the tongue for quite some time delighting my senses. Definitely will be "buy again" brand. Amazing value for money. Loved it!

Really delicious wine savoured on its own at a great price

Deborah - 17/04/2020

One of the best Chardonnays around & at $19.99 is $7 cheaper than the gougers at Countdown. Vote with your feet & shop with local suppliers

Margaret - 03/04/2020

Advertised as Rich & Opulent and it certainly was that. Surely worth way more than $20.

Graeme - 02/04/2020

J
An outstanding wine from the USA that's value for money. It's a very smooth wine to drink with a long lasting finish on the palate.

Jill - 07/03/2020

When this is being offered at under $20 I grab a few cases. Never thought I'd say that I love any Californian wines but my opinion has changed over the past 5 years or so. I have a few favourite Chardonnays that are from this region.

Craig - 03/03/2020

Best of the californium chards

Jon - 14/02/2020

Just what I enjoy. Just wish they had screw tops!!

Alison - 29/11/2019

Typical California Chardonnay style. Great value for money

Mark - 27/08/2020

S
Beautiful

Shane - 16/06/2020

Great stuff - it's our go-to at the moment for a rich buttery chardonnay. Not the most individual wine in the world but it does drink beautifully.

Derek - 09/05/2020

Y
Delicious!

Yvonne - 06/05/2020

Our fave Californian!

Shiree - 05/05/2020

Big buttery and fun Chardy, tastes and punches above its price point.

Gary - 04/05/2020

A good one we can usually source locally, but cheaper on BM.

Taoho - 22/04/2020

Fabulous chardonnay, citrus nominated with a hint of pear. (Thankfully no tropical or stone-fruit flavours).

Wendy - 13/04/2020

One of my favourites. Those that like big bold Chard’s should try it.

When these guys entered the NZ market they priced this good Californian Chard at $20. Then after some time the price was increased and I stopped buying until every now again the supermarket would special it back down to $20. So when you recently matched that I ordered as at that price it is good value for money.
