The 2020 1000 Stories Bourbon Barrel Aged Chardonnay is a unique and innovative wine that combines the flavors of Chardonnay with the sweetness and smokiness of bourbon. This wine is made from grapes grown in California's Central Coast, where the cool climate and sandy soils produce grapes with bright acidity and refreshing flavors.
The wine is aged for 12 months in used bourbon barrels, which gives it a unique flavor profile that is both sweet and smoky. The wine opens with aromas of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak. On the palate, the wine is rich and creamy, with flavors of vanilla, oak spice, and baked apple. The finish is long and lingering.
This wine is perfect for pairing with grilled chicken, pasta dishes, or roasted vegetables. It can also be enjoyed on its own as an after-dinner drink.
