Evaluation BRAVDO Chardonnay

Mark Squires Review of Chardonnay 2011

The 2011 Chardonnay (Bravdo) had a somewhat complicated vinification process: it was fermented in tank until it reached about 9% alcohol and then transferred into a mixture of French and American oak. The net result is a fruity, clean wine that smells more of tank than oak and tastes really good. It is not going to win points for power and it is rather straightforward, but consistent with the style shown by the others here, it is well constructed in its style, wonderfully easy to appreciate, and quite charming.

BRAVDO Rose 2014

• • BRAVDO Rose is made from 100% Merlot grapes.

A dry Rose wine characterized by fruity aroma, lingering nicely on the finish.

The vineyard underwent cultural managements aimed at enhancing color and flavor and was night harvested at optimal maturity. The must was subjected to controlled skins contact followed by low temperature fermentation. Skins were removed after achieving the desired color and phenolic content, achieving a well balanced refreshing Rose typical to the traditional BRAVDO wines.

5400 bottles were produced

is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot cultivated from selected outstanding quality vineyards. The grapes were harvested at full phenolic maturation stage and the fermenting must was enriched with Cabernet Franc skins separated from an early stage of a parallel rose wine preparation.

• Alcoholic and malo-lactic fermentation were conducted in temperature controlled stainless steel fermenters. The enriched must resulted in body, aroma and complexity enhancement of the wine. The wine was bottled after 24 months aging in French (75%) and American (25%) oak.

4800 bottles were produced
