Estate Chardonnay 2022

The brilliant light green and golden straw hue of our Estate Chardonnay hints at the depth of flavor that unfolds in the glass. Heady fruit aromas of pear, green apple and citrus are framed by an enticing thread of flower blossom and spice. The palate is rich and creamy with uplifted acidity on the finish.

Our Estate Chardonnay was crafted predominantly from Ledford Ranch, one of our Regenerative Organic Certified estate vineyards in Mendocino County. Adjacent to the Russian River, Ledford has well-draining gravelly loam soils at varying elevations—ideal for growing exquisite Chardonnay with an unmistakably bright fruit character.

The brilliant light green and golden straw hue of our Estate Chardonnay hints at the depth of flavor that unfolds in the glass. Heady fruit aromas of pear, green apple and citrus are framed by an enticing thread of flower blossom and spice. The palate is rich and creamy with uplifted acidity on the finish. Our Reserve Chardonnay—with its beautiful balance of bright fruit character and subtle oak integration—will continue to evolve for up to four years of additional cellaring.

Our Estate Chardonnay was crafted predominantly from Ledford Ranch, one of our Regenerative Organic Certified estate vineyards in Mendocino County. Adjacent to the Russian River, Ledford has well-draining gravelly loam soils at varying elevations—ideal for growing exquisite Chardonnay with an unmistakably bright fruit character.

The fruit for this 100 percent varietal Chardonnay was harvested at the peak of ripeness between September and October, then destemmed and pressed. A long, cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks helped preserve the variety’s natural acidity, while malolactic fermentation added depth and viscosity to the wine. Nearly a third of this Chardonnay was aged on the lees for six months in 100 percent new French oak barrels with a medium to medium+ toast level, lending the wine a richer, rounder mouthfeel.

“Bonterra is famous for working organically, and this is quite dramatic in its fusion of oaky and fruity components. Scents of toast and woodsmoke meld nicely with rich fruit flavors recalling baked apples and tropical fruits, making this a great choice for flavorful and fleshy dishes like scallops or swordfish.  91 Points

I love this chardonnay!
Luckily I saw this wine at a wine bar at the Sacramento airport otherwise I don't think I would know about it. I always bought the Bonterra chardonnay because it's organic. The Estate chardonnay is even more delicious!

Perfectly balanced Chardonnay
With just the right amount of oak and a subtle buttery finish. Tonight we enjoyed it with pecan crusted chicken stuffed with goat cheese and rosemary. Our favorite Chardonnay, we buy this one by the case with our Bonterra Club membership.
