This is a corporate initiative to produce a lot of variety and a lot of volume. Keep in mind that they’re a large wine manufacturer, so this isn’t your family vineyard that’s been passed down from generation to generation. They are also one of the most awarded wine manufacturers in the world. They produce many different flavours, so there’s always something for all wine drinkers with a brand like Barefoot. Their primary goal is to introduce people to wines that taste good and make them have a good time. They believe in bringing people, and amazing friends together, because as they say, “We have more fun when we’re together.” As a company, they support many charities and causes they find important. It should balance the buttery flavor nicely so the wine feels smooth and round in the mouth, with a light smooth finish.īarefoot is all about community. It should be crisp, but not overpowering. On the contrary, too much oak and the wine may be bitter or, frankly, taste like drinking a tree.Ĭhardonnay can also have a bit of citrus and bite. But too much silky smooth butter, and you will find that the wine is way to syrupy sweet. What many people want is a smooth, buttery taste with just a hint of oak to round out the flavor and give the wine its body. They are the most common flavours found in most Chardonnay and the balance of these two characteristic flavours can make the wine taste very, very different.

However, no matter which vintage you choose, you’re likely going to find that Chardonnay is oaky and buttery. You can look out for particular vintages, like a 2014 vintage from California or a 1996 from France. The most notable regions are in California and France.
