This wine showcases a bouquet of ripe apricot, vanilla bean, and butterscotch. Creamy and mouth-coating, the palate evokes bold flavors of vanilla, baked apple, and toasted almond with a round, buttery finish.

Beringer Bros. Chardonnay is picked at the peak of flavor development from top sites across California. It is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with 25% malolactic fermentation. 20% of the wine is aged for 60 days in second-pass charred American oak barriques which previously held Bourbon.

Beringer’s latest offering pays tribute to the winery’s very beginning 150 years ago, when brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer left Germany to found a winery and distillery in Napa. Reusing their spirit barrels to age wine just seemed like good financial sense, but they quickly discovered it added a whole new level of richness and complexity to their wine. Today, we recreate Jacob and Frederick’s pioneering spirit by aging Beringer Bros. wines in spirit barrels. Enjoy smooth, robust wines with flavors of vanilla, toasted hazelnuts, and caramel – a glimpse of Beringer’s past.
