This combination of factors produces full-bodied wines of intense fruititness and varietal character. The 2005 vintage was cooler than normal, but the dry, sunny weather in the critical months of September and October allowed the fruit extended hang-time. This enhanced the flavor intensity, crisp acidity, and pronounced minerality. The aromas are classic Arroyo Seco Chardonnay. Apple and citrus fruits accented by mineral notes, as well as hints of crême brulée in the nose. The palate is full and rich, but balanced by it’s crisp texture. The lush finish exudes flavors of baked apple and pear. Appellation: Arroyo Seo Cooperage: 100% French oak, 50% of which is new Coopers: Sirugue, Cadus, François Frères, Dargaud & Jaegle Varietal: 100% Chardonnay Fermentation: We barrel fermented this lot using several different yeast strains. The wine was aged in barrel for 9 months and stired every two to four weeks (battonage) to enhance mouthfeel and complexity. Harvest date: October 20, 2005 <ul style="padding-left: 15px"> </ul> Other products in the category <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/bernardus/Category5" title="Vineyard Designate Wines">Vineyard Designate Wines</a>: <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/bernardus/Product144" title="Chardonnay Griva Vineyard 2008">Chardonnay Griva Vineyard 2008</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/bernardus/Product136" title="Chardonnay ParaisoVineyard 2008">Chardonnay ParaisoVineyard 2008</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/bernardus/Product169" title="Chardonnay Rosella's Vineyard 2009">Chardonnay Rosella's Vineyard 2009</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/bernardus/Product171" title="Chardonnay Sierra Mar Vineyard 2009">Chardonnay Sierra Mar Vineyard 2009</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/bernardus/Product139" title="Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc, Griva Vineyard - 2008">Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc, Griva Vineyard - 2008</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/bernardus/Product173" title="Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc, Griva Vineyard - 2009">Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc, Griva Vineyard - 2009</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/bernardus/Product150" title="Pinot Noir, Fairview Vineyard - 2008">Pinot Noir, Fairview Vineyard - 2008</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/bernardus/Product151" title="Pinot Noir, Pisoni Vineyard - 2008">Pinot Noir, Pisoni Vineyard - 2008</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/bernardus/Product167" title="Pinot Noir, Pisoni Vineyard - 2009">Pinot Noir, Pisoni Vineyard - 2009</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/bernardus/Product76" title="Pinot Noir, Rosella's Vineyard - 2005">Pinot Noir, Rosella's Vineyard - 2005</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/bernardus/Product113" title="Pinot Noir, Rosella's Vineyard - 2007">Pinot Noir, Rosella's Vineyard - 2007</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/bernardus/Product153" title="Pinot Noir, Rosella's Vineyard - 2008">Pinot Noir, Rosella's Vineyard - 2008</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/bernardus/Product166" title="Pinot Noir, Rosella's Vineyard - 2009">Pinot Noir, Rosella's Vineyard - 2009</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/bernardus/Product148" title="Pinot Noir, Tondre Vineyard - 2008">Pinot Noir, Tondre Vineyard - 2008</a></li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/bernardus/Product159" title="Sauvignon Blanc, Griva Vineyard - 2010">Sauvignon Blanc, Griva Vineyard - 2010</a></li></ul> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/bernardus" title="Bernardus Winery Products">Bernardus Winery Products</a> <a href="http://www.bernardus.com/winery">Bernardus Winery</a> Bernardus Winery Online Store powered by Nexternal <a href="http://www.nexternal.com" title="shopping cart software">shopping cart software</a>
