BV Coastal Chardonnay (75cl, 13.5%)

A California Chardonnay from Beaulieu Vineyard, bottled at 13.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is sourced predominantly from Monterey County vineyards and includes small additions of Viognier and Riesling for aromatic complexity. Lees stirring builds a round, creamy texture, while partial malolactic fermentation softens acidity. The nose opens with ripe pear and fresh apple, followed by tropical fruit accents and a whisper of vanilla. The palate is juicy and medium-full, with ripe apple and pear, orange jam, buttered toast and green almond notes. The finish is moderate, with lingering pear and toasty oak spice.
