✨ Technical Specifications
Founded in 1876 by brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer, Beringer Vineyards stands as one of Napa Valley's most historic and continuously operating estates. The Appellation Collection Chardonnay celebrates this legacy by sourcing fruit from California's premier cool-climate vineyards. This wine is crafted using traditional methods, including barrel fermentation in French oak and sur lie aging, which impart a signature creamy texture and subtle toasted brioche notes. Balanced by bright acidity and vibrant stone fruit flavors, it represents a classic expression of California's diverse terroir, echoing the pioneering spirit that defined the estate's early gravity-fed winery and hand-chiseled stone caves.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1876 by brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer, Beringer Vineyards holds the distinction of being California's oldest continuously operating winery, situated in the heart of St. Helena in Napa Valley. Pioneers of early Napa winemaking, the Beringer brothers engineered hand-dug limestone caves and gravity-fed cellars to craft refined, ageworthy wines. Today, owned by Treasury Wine Estates, the historic estate maintains an uncompromising dedication to site-specific viticulture across prime Napa Valley and Knights Valley terroirs. Beringer is internationally celebrated for its flagship Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, alongside complex single-vineyard expressions and botrytized dessert wines like Nightingale.
