Beringer Vineyards Founder's Estate Chardonnay California 2023 750ml

There's a California warmth to this Chardonnay that feels effortless — ripe pear, pineapple, and mango layered over crisp Granny Smith apple and a whisper of citrus zest. Ron barrel-fermented 70% of the wine in French and American oak (20% new) for eight months, drawing out notes of vanilla, caramel, and nutmeg, while the remaining 30% aged in stainless steel to keep things fresh and bright. The result is a wine that's both generous and clean — a classically round mouthfeel with enough acidity to keep every sip lively. Great alone, better at the table.
