Beringer Napa Valley Chardonnay 2023

Beringer Napa Valley Chardonnay 2023 is a refreshing, vibrant, and beautifully executed white wine that serves as a fine example of classically styled Napa Valley Chardonnay. Crafted by California’s longest continually operating winery, this radiant straw-yellow wine opens with an inviting and highly perfumed bouquet of crisp Asian pear, bright citrus, and fresh yellow plum, enlivened by delicate notes of orange blossom and honeysuckle. On the palate, it delivers a surprisingly plush, creamy, and round mouthfeel. Lush tropical flavors of grilled pineapple and white peach seamlessly integrate with decadent layers of lemon meringue pie, toasted almonds, and sea salt caramel. All of this rich complexity is effortlessly uplifted by a clean, vibrant line of natural acidity, leading into a long, mouthwatering finish defined by elegant hints of vanilla bean, warm nutmeg spice, and toasted brioche from subtle oak aging.

Food Pairing: Butter-poached lobster tails, dungeness crab cakes, pan-seared sea scallops, cream-based pasta dishes, roast chicken with garlic cream sauce, or mild cheeses like Brie.
