One of our biggest selling Chardonnays at this price point is the Bogle Chardonnay from California. It seems to be filling a gap for lovers of big, bold, buttery, spicy Chardonnay and there are quite a few of you out there! The combination of the Californian sun ripened grapes, plenty of American oak and creamy malolactic give this wine a distinctive style.
Bogle Winery is a family owned and run winery, which was established in 1968 by father and son team, Warren and Chris Bogle.
Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Our California Chardonnay, one of the most popular wines we produce, is a crowd pleaser with wide appeal. Well balanced and welcoming, a glass of this has a little something for everyone. Handcrafted and award-winning, this bottle will delight wine drinkers with its lovely, approachable style.
Green apple and pear aromatics from Clarksburg Chardonnay are accompanied by subtle notes of apricot. Barrel fermenting half of this Chardonnay in American oak frames those amazing fruit tones with toasty baking spices and hints of vanilla. Malolactic fermentation in these barrels add to the complexity and provides a touch of butter leading into a plush, velvety mouth feel. Only to finish with a crispness and high fruit tone, delivering a harmonic balance.
Fermented in 50% in new American oak, 50% in stainless steel. Aged for 8 months in new American oak. Sur lie aged and hand stirred (batonnage) monthly."

5 Stars & 18.5/20 (93) Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, March 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"Bright, medium yellow, even colour throughout. The nose is gently full, with flint, vanilla, allspice, roasted almond, pineapple and stonefruit aromas. Full-bodied, ripe stonefruit and pineapple aromas melded with toffee, vanilla, roasted almond, and allspice. The mouthfeel is full and creamy, and the sweetness filling out the palate contributes to the weight and roundness. Balanced acidity carries subtle spice to a toasty finish. This well-rounded Chardonnay with ripe fruit, spice and toasty elements flows on a smooth, creamy voluminous mouthfeel."
