of the blend goes through Malo-lactic fermentation which makes tart elements softer and helps to create the fruity and creamy texture Barefoot Chardonnay is a delightful wine with tempting flavors of green apples and peaches. Hints of honey and vanilla enhance the buttery finish. It is perfect with seafood, poultry, fresh fruits, white sauce pastas and mild cheeses.

Ohh LALA! Let’s toast with buttery But just because it’s classified as a dry wine, it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have any sweetness at all. “Sweetness” is a term used by wine professionals to describe how much residual sugar is in a wine, but a sweet taste can still be perceived by the other different elements of the Chardonnay - such as its fruitiness and oak-derived flavours.So, how do we do it? Mainly grown in the Lodi grape growing region, Barefoot Buttery is an adventurous amalgamation of 96% Chardonnay blended with Verdelho. Its decadent layers of toasty oak are borne of time spent on both French and American Oak. Malolactic fermentation is a strange process that isn't actually fermentation but a chemical process that can start naturally or be induced by the winemaker. It changes the harsher initial malic acid flavours in the wine (that taste like apples) into lactic acid flavours that taste like creamy milk. The change between the two acid types - malic to lactic - gives the name to the process - malolactic.

Tasting notes: Buttery Chardonnay vs Traditional Chardonnay They say all good things must come to an end, and sadly the same has to be said for wine – it goes bad if left open for too long. This happens as a result of oxygen sneaking into the bottle and mingling with the wine, which causes a chemical reaction that makes it taste sharp or like bruised fruit. But worry not, you won’t waste a drop if you follow the below steps.The warmer the climate in which 'malo' happens results in a greater change to the wine. So in hot grape-growing California this process can result in an extreme buttery richness. Chardonnay is a medium to full-bodied wine, and due to the pre-bottling ageing process, it doesn’t last quite as long as light-bodied whites and sweet rosés. That said, resealed bottles of opened Chardonnay will last up to five days in the fridge and still taste fab! If you’re after info on how long other wines last once opened, we’ve got all the answers covered in this blog. Fruity and slightly buttery, this is a modern Chardonnay made in Chile that has none of the overly buttery flavours of USA Chardonnay from the 1990s. Nicely balanced.
