Bear Creek Chardonnay
This
grape becomes a stellar wine variety in
Texas, where
it gains a paradoxical combination of crisp
minerality
from Texas' high mineral
terroir
and very uncommon
intensity from low yields of less than
1 ton per acre.
The French term
"terroir",
meaning the land or soil, but more
 widely
known in the wine industry as the flavors conveyed from
the soil and site elements to the wine, is critical in understanding
our wines. In this case, it is important to note that there
is a
difference between acidity and minerality although
it is often
blurred by even the best wines and palates.
It is this factor that
makes this wine an anomaly in
the wine world where it is widely
believed that a great
white wine cannot be made in a hot climate.
 Bear
Creek Cabernet
A full bodied, fully-extracted Cabernet that found it's
perfect home
for development of tannin and brix. This
black fruit variety has
dominant flavors of Black Currant,
Blackberries and Cassis. |
