Bogle Vineyards Reserve Chardonnay 2017 (California)

Description

• Toasty oak
• Ripe stone fruit
• Caramel toffee
• Creamy texture

"Rich, creamy wine with plenty of weight and mouth-feel. Ripe, creamy-textured Chardonnay with toast, caramel, honey, sizzled butter and nut flavours. A big and moderately complex wine" Bob Campbell, Mster of Wine, Real Review, Dec 2019

Golden yellow colour with aromas of melted butter, baking spices and glorious caramel toffee aromas. Nougat and caramel on the palate with just a touch of
sweetness. Ripe stone and tropical fruit, a full creamy mouthfeel and toasty oak character. An instant classic, this takes the much loved Bogle style up a notch, making it a must try for fans of big, bold American Chardonnay!

The Bogle family currently farms 1600 acres, with 1200 acres in Clarksburg and 400 in the Lodi appellation.

The Bogle Reserve is 100% barrel fermented in small, new American oak barrels for 15 months, 100% malolactic fermentation and monthly hand stirring of the lees.

Food Pairing: Perfect with light and delicate food such as raw and lightly cooked shellfish like crab and prawns, steamed or grilled fish, fish pâtés, fish, chicken or vegetable terrines and pasta or risotto with spring vegetables.
