Product Information

In addition to what they say on the bottle, they also suggest a white sauce pasta with light seafood. of the blend goes through Malo-lactic fermentation which makes tart elements softer and helps to create the fruity and creamy texture They say all good things must come to an end, and sadly the same has to be said for wine – it goes bad if left open for too long. This happens as a result of oxygen sneaking into the bottle and mingling with the wine, which causes a chemical reaction that makes it taste sharp or like bruised fruit. But worry not, you won’t waste a drop if you follow the below steps. Despite the label this is in fact a rosé. Slightly sweet strawberry and fresh pineapple flavours with a perfumed aroma – rather like a blend of German Gerwurztraminer and French Viognier. Drink slightly cooled with Chinese foods or cold meats. Let’s get the most common question out of the way: Chardonnay is a dry white wine. The Chardonnay grapes are fermented for longer, so the natural sugars in the grapes are eaten by the yeast. This leaves the wine with less residual sugar, and hence making it a dry wine.

Chardonnay tastes slightly different depending on where the grapes have been grown and the aging process used. Tasting notes can range from crisp apple, pear and citrus to more tropical tones like pineapple or stone fruit. If the wine has been aged using oak, vanilla notes can also pop up too. An interesting non-Californian addition to the range but unfortunately not currently available in the UK. Both Chardonnay wines are 100% Cali girls, but use different grapes from within the region. As our Buttery wine has such a high percentage of Chardonnay, it stays true to itself and just screams Chardonnay. The Traditional Chardonnay has varietal notes, but the Viognier, Riesling and Gewürztraminer add floral tones, making these two very different Chardonnays. Like sisters with slightly different tastes in fashion. Aromas of pineapple upside down pudding with flavours of apple, pear and lemon. Simple, clean and refreshing. The butteriness that we often associate with Chardonnay can be a result of a process called malolactic fermentation.Our Barefoot Buttery Chardonnay shows off a creamy texture with a vibrant punch of pineapple aromas. It's also layered with toasty oak which creates a smooth finish with a hint of vanilla. Traditional Chardonnay is crisp, with notes of juicy green apples and peaches. As it has a tad more sweetness than the Buttery blend and you'll also enjoy hints of honey and vanilla with every sip. A modern Australian Chardonnay with just enough oak to match the fruitfulness without being overpowering. The creamy pear, melon and peach flavours are a match to curry and quiches. Barefoot Chardonnay finishes long, juicy and buttery! We both counted a 7-9 second finish that was evident all over the palate.

Tasting notes: Buttery Chardonnay vs Traditional ChardonnayIn addition to the review you’re reading right now, I’ve also reviewed the following from Barefoot Cellars: Should Chardonnay be chilled? Absolutely! If you don’t chill your Chardonnay, the flavours are prone to becoming a bit muddled and confused – a bit like us humans when we’re overheating. However, you don’t want to serve it too cold either, as it’ll alter the tasting notes.

So, no matter the occasion, make memories and enjoy precious moments accompanied by Barefoot Buttery Chardonnay. Let’s toast with buttery!Big Al felt there was a lot going on with this wine. For him, the dominant taste was sweet grapefruit. On the tip of his tongue he noted a nutty overtone.

New to the range in 2020 this is a blend of Pinot Noir, Zinfandel and the low-tannin Teroldego which also grows in Italy. The name indicates its sweet flavour and Barefoot recommends you try it slightly chilled during the summer. We know you love your Chardonnay, so it's time to tease your taste buds with a fresh approach – let’s toast with Buttery! Chardonnay is appropriately named after the small village of Chardonnay in France, where the grapes are originally from. It is one of the most widely planted white grapes in world, surpassing Airén grapes from Spain and Trebbiano from Italy. There's another contributor to those rich Chardonnay flavours - oak barrels. Those fresh wood shaving aromas and flavours come from either fermenting the wine in oak or leaving the just-finished wine in barrels for 18 months or longer. Big Al noted grapefruit when he gave the wine a gentle sniff. A deeper inhalation revealed a hint of nutmeg.A really oaky Californian Chardonnay in the old unsubtle style. Some pear and peach flavours hanging on in there.
