Each bottle of Bonterra wine is a seamless blend of history and modernity. The terroir, which comes from private organic vineyards, is the pinnacle of regenerative organic agriculture and produces wines that are harmoniously at one with nature.

Since 1987, organic farming has been practiced on Bonterra vineyards, long before organic products were generally accessible in America. This method of farming was chosen because it produces the clearest representations of the grape varietals and the soil on which they are grown.

At Bonterra, they hold the environment in the highest regard. Demeter has certified their three ranches (Blue Heron, McNab, and Butler) as Biodynamic, and they have a status review every year to make sure each ranch complies with the Demeter Farm Standard. The most basic definition of biodynamic farming is a biological organism that is self-sufficient, self-contained, and that follows the cycles of nature. Consider how farms operated centuries ago to have a better understanding of being self-contained and self-sustaining.

Bonterra farm their biodynamic ranches in an effort to accomplish this goal with the least amount of outside assistance. Passion and commitment are necessary for organic farming. The organic farming methods used by the farm partners are held to exceptionally high standards, producing grapes of the finest calibre and with ample expression.

Bonterra The Roost Biodynamic Chardonnay 2020 75cl £24.56

A lavish, out there, Californian Chardonnay, exhibiting ripe peach, pear and lemon curd character, together with unmistakable toasty oak notes It lazily gloop-gloops from the bottle, and its lavish, unctuous texture caresses and soothes the palate like extra virgin olive oil With the trend in recent years towards lean and austere Chardonnays, encountering one that readily displays its true colours is a rather refreshing change
