Bogle Reserve Chardonnay 2024

Bogle Reserve Chardonnay is Bogle's full-throttle take on the variety: 100% barrel-fermented in new American oak, put through complete malolactic fermentation, and stirred on its lees twice a month for extra richness. The result is a big, glossy Chardonnay with baked apple and pear at its core, laced with cinnamon, toasted oak and a touch of honeyed orange peel, all wrapped in a velvety, creamy texture that still finishes crisp rather than flabby. It's built for people who want their Chardonnay to actually taste like Chardonnay - buttery, spiced and generous - rather than apologise for it.

What the winery says:

Bogle's Reserve Chardonnay is 100% barrel-fermented in brand-new American oak, taken through complete malolactic fermentation, aged on its lees and stirred (batonnage) twice a month. That combination builds the wine's velvety texture and baking-spice character - think nutmeg, cinnamon and a touch of caramel over a core of apple and pear, finishing rich but not sweet.
