The story of Bogle California Chard

Bogle is a family winery at Clarksburg, in the Sacramento River Delta of California, and the Bogles were farming there long before they made wine. Captain AJ Bogle and his nephew Samuel arrived in the late 1870s and grew cherries, peaches and pears. Warren Bogle and his son Chris planted the first 20 acres of wine grapes on the Home Ranch in 1968, sold their fruit to other wineries for about ten years, and released the first wine under the family label in 1978.

Six generations on, Warren, Jody and Ryan Bogle all work in the business. The Chardonnay is built in two halves. Half is fermented in oak barrel and half in stainless steel, then the wine rests on its lees and is stirred by hand once a month. That gives it a rounded texture, and the fruit runs to green apple and juicy pear with warm baking spice behind.

Serve it well chilled but not ice cold, so the spice and texture come through. It suits roast chicken, seared scallops, a grilled pork salad or a simple pan of fish.
