So I am happy to share with everyone my wine pick today. It has been a favourite of mine and to be honest at first I didn’t even realize it was organic. I just knew I loved it! A bonus biodynamic!
From Mendocino, California, my pick is Bonterra which means “good earth” Chardonnay.
Because of Mendocino’s climate and the hot,dry summers a great diversity of cover crops are part of the landscape. The olive trees, a variety of poppies and even strands of lavender can be seen among the vineyards. Perfect for biodynamic farming. This is reflected in the taste in the glass!
It is a rich wine, buttery and nutty, mouth filling and with a crisp acidity and aromas and aromas and flavours of tropical fruit, lemon. It is a delectable journey on the palate and with a long standing finish. Just hits the high note time after time!
