The Story
Bread & Butter Chardonnay is a brand from WX Brands whose wines include Chronic Cellars and Trapiche (Argentina).
Bread & Butter Wines has two lines: every day and Reserve. The Reserve Chardonnay is sourced from Napa Valley.
This wine uses vineyards in warmer places in California, as opposed to the usual cooler coastal vineyards.
This Chardonnay was aged in French oak, with 40% of the barrels being new and the rest used.
The wine underwent partial malolactic fermentation. That is a process that turns the natural tart acidity in the grapes into a rounded acid. Partial Malolactic means part of the juice is tart and the other is more rounded.
This brand has been available for 11 years and has received 90 points in the past.
The alcohol content is 13.5%.
