Bernardus

This Monterey County Chardonnay is assembled from specially selected vineyards, primarily in the Arroyo Seco and Santa Lucia Highlands appellations. Each selected vineyard contributes unique aromas and flavors, creating a Chardonnay of extraordinary character and finesse. Bernardus follows traditional Burgundian methods to create a Chardonnay of the highest quality. At harvest, all of the grapes are handpicked after careful evaluation for ripeness. The grapes are then very gently pressed to obtain the highest quality juice. This is then transferred to small oak barrels for fermentation. All barrels undergo malolactic fermentation and are hand-stirred every two weeks until shortly before blending and bottling.
