Winery Review:
Chardonnay grapes grown in Clarksburg are known for their characteristic apple and pear aromas and flavors. Bogle winemakers have captured these refreshing and ripe notes while allowing them to develop and intensify through stainless steel fermentation. Additional grapes are vinted using the techniques of barrel fermentation, sur-lies aging and partial malolactic fermentation, which creates an elegant counterpart to the fresh fruit with tones of spicy vanilla and nutmeg. The creamy mouthfeel adds just the final touch on the finish, reminiscent of an apple and pear galette.
My Review: I thought this wine was a little different because of the sur-lies aging. The nose was very fruity and citrusy with hints of vanilla and some spice. It was a little too acidic for me and was not as smooth as I would have liked, but that may be because Chardonnay is not one of my favorites.
I did not taste this wine with food.
