Description

Embark on a unique journey with the Beringer Bros. Bourbon Barrel Aged Red Wine Blend. This is not your ordinary wine. Crafted by Beringer Vineyards, California's oldest continuously operating winery, this red blend undergoes a fascinating aging process. For 60 days, it matures in bourbon barrels, imparting a distinctive character you won't find anywhere else. This innovative approach results in a wine that beautifully marries the rich flavors of red fruit with the warm, smoky notes of bourbon. The result is a dry wine that is both bold and smooth, offering a complex tapestry of tastes. The influence of bourbon barrels lends notes of vanilla, spice and oak, creating an experience that is both familiar and surprising.

Established by Jacob and Frederick Beringer, the winery has been a beacon of innovation in Napa Valley since 1876. This wine pays homage to that pioneering spirit, reflecting a commitment to both heritage and cutting-edge techniques. It is not just a wine, it's a story in a bottle - a tale of tradition, ingenuity and a love for exceptional flavors.

When it comes to pairing, the Beringer Bros. Bourbon Barrel Aged Red Blend is incredibly versatile. Its robust character makes it a great match for grilled meats such as steak or burgers, where its smoky undertones complements the char. It also pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes such as braised short ribs or rich stews, its depth of flavor standing up to bold tastes. For cheese lovers, try it with a sharp cheddar or a smoked gouda. If you are feeling adventurous, consider pairing it with dark chocolate for a decadent dessert experience. For best taste, the wine should be served at around 18°C. This ensures the full spectrum of aromas is released, resulting in a more nuanced taste experience. It also doesn't require resting before drinking and can be served right away.

This is not just a wine, it's a conversation starter. A testament to the art of winemaking, and a reminder that some of the best experiences are the result of embracing the unexpected. Treat yourself to the taste of history and innovation. Try the Beringer Bros. Bourbon Barrel Aged Red Blend, you'll be glad you did.
