1000 Stories ‘Bourbon Barrel-Aged’ Chardonnay White Wine, 75cl (Pack of 2)

The information below applies to each unit in the pack
This Chardonnay melds the rich character of 1000 Stories’ bourbon barrel-aged wines with California’s most celebrated white grape variety
A portion of the blend was fermented in bourbon barrels, integrating complex bourbon and oak notes early on in the wine’s journey
A touch of Viognier brought a tropical fruit thread to its quintessential Chardonnay notes of pear and baked apple
In signature 1000 Stories fashion, this wine was aged in traditional French and American oak, with a portion finished in seasoned bourbon barrels before the final blend was assembled
1000 Stories Chardonnay reflects the classic California style: full-bodied, richly textured and bursting with layers of bright fruit flavor. A palate of peach, pear and pineapple sets the stage for a baked-apple richness and creamy mouthfeel. Bourbon barrel aging weaves a warm thread of vanilla, crème brûlée and wood spice in the glass, culminating in a memorable butterscotch finish
‘Years ago, when I was just starting out as a winemaker, it was almost unheard of to get French oak wine barrels and American oak barrels were for whisky, not wine. But we still needed barrels to age our wine, so we purchased new and used Bourbon barrels. Today American and French oak wine barrels are commonplace, so the inspiration for 1000 Stories is a nod to the way things were.’ – Winemaker Bob Blue
