Tasting note
Tropical notes of pineapple and banana plus buttercream, caramel and smoke. This is a smooth, creamy Chardonnay. Bonterra's organic practices help express the vibrancy of the fruit. Pair with grilled shrimp, chicken tourtière or lobster with butter sauce.
This dry, full-bodied and woody white displays a simple and medium nose. On the palate, its refreshing acidity and full-bodied texture precede a medium finish.
Flavours of green apple, pear, citrus, and hint of oak.
An initial impression of rich, buttery cream quickly turns to aromas of honey and lightly toasted almonds, followed quickly by tropical aromas of pineapple and citrusy lemon. The wine is refreshing on the palate with a vibrant tartness and lemon zest that is absolutely Bonterra Chardonnay.
Aromas of honey and toasted almonds, quickly followed by pineapple, lemon and crème brulee. This wine has a refreshing, bright, clean minerality with a vibrant tartness and lemon zest that is distinctly Bonterra Chardonnay.
Featured in TASTE Magazine, Winter 2012 issue. From one of California’s most respected organic winemakers, this distinctive Chardonnay is taut and tart, tangy and leesy, with notes of green apple, lemons and pears with hints of bright minerality. Refreshing as an aperitif, it pairs well with scallops, Dungeness crab and apple pie.
