Wine maker notes

“I like to think of the Beringer Founders’ Estate Chardonnay as an expression of California in a bottle. In a state so diverse, from the rolling farmlands of the north to the sunny beaches of the south, there are layers of character and pockets of personality all captured under a sunny sky. The wine’s fresh citrus and fruit flavors are like the warm sunshine, and the full‐bodied style with a touch of oak and a smooth finish contribute to a food‐friendly wine perfect for the year‐round California outdoor entertaining season.”‐

Mary Sullivan Winemaker, Beringer Founders’ Estate Wine

Other text

The 2005 growing season began with an early bud break followed by a cool, wet spring. Summer was also on the cooler side, without the usual warm spells, resulting in an even and extended growing season. As a result, the harvest was long, allowing the grapes to develop more complexity andlayers of flavors, aromas and wonderful color.

Winemaking: Winemaker Mary Sullivan barrel fermented and aged a portion of the Chardonnay in French and American oak barrels for four to six months to impart subtle highlights of vanilla and pear. Fermenting the remainder in stainless steel maintained a bright, fresh fruit balance. The resulting wine has ripe stone fruit, pear and apple flavors, and is highlighted by a touch of citrus.
