The 2023 Bogle Family Vineyards Chardonnay is a classic California Chardonnay crafted from sustainably grown fruit across the state's premier vineyards. A portion of the wine is aged in American oak with regular lees stirring, creating a rich yet balanced style that combines generous fruit with a creamy texture. The nose is inviting with aromas of ripe apple, pear and white peach, complemented by notes of vanilla, toasted oak, baking spice and a hint of butterscotch.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a smooth, creamy mouthfeel balanced by refreshing acidity. Flavours of baked apple, tropical fruit and citrus are layered with subtle butter, vanilla and toasted almond, leading to a long, rounded finish with excellent balance. Ready to enjoy now, it will continue to drink beautifully over the next 3–5 years.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic choice for those who enjoy a rich yet approachable California Chardonnay. Pair it with roast chicken, grilled salmon, creamy pasta, lobster or soft-ripened cheeses. Serve lightly chilled to showcase its generous fruit, creamy texture and beautifully integrated oak.
