BACKGROUND:
Beringer’s latest offering pays tribute to the winery’s very beginning. 150 years ago, brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer left Germany to found a winery and distillery in Napa. Reusing their spirit barrels to age wine just seemed like good financial sense, but they quickly discovered it added a whole new level of richness and complexity to their wine. Today, we recreate Jacob and Frederick’s pioneering spirit by aging Beringer Bros. wines in spirit barrels. Enjoy smooth, robust wines with flavors of vanilla, toasted hazelnuts, and caramel – a glimpse of Beringer’s past.
WINEMAKING:
Beringer Bros. Sauvignon Blanc is picked at the peak of flavor development from top sites across California and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. 20% of the wine is aged for 60 days in charred oak barrels which previously aged Tequila.
TASTING NOTES:
This Sauvignon Blanc is bursting with aromas of bright citrus, fresh herbs, and a hint of vanilla cream. The palate is lush and smooth with integrated acidity, leading to a rich lasting finish.
