Napa Valley Beringer Vineyards 1987
The 1987 Napa Valley Chardonnay is an estate-bottled white wine produced by Beringer Vineyards, an estate established in 1876. The wine is made exclusively from Chardonnay, one of the world's most recognized white grape varieties, which is cultivated in prominent regions such as Burgundy, Champagne, Oregon, and California.
The grapes for this wine were grown in the cool southern end of the Napa Valley, located in Northern California. California is the most important wine-producing state in the United States, responsible for over 80 percent of the country's total production. The state's climate is heavily influenced by cool ocean winds and morning fog from the Pacific Ocean, creating significant diurnal temperature shifts. Napa Valley, which became California's first official American Viticultural Area (AVA) in 1981, is geographically framed by the Mayacamas Mountains to the west and the Vaca Mountains to the east. The valley benefits from a Mediterranean climate, where the nearby San Pablo Bay draws cool morning fog and breezes northward, moderating the daytime temperatures across its highly complex and geologically diverse soils. Today, Napa Valley is widely regarded as the most prestigious wine area in North America.
For the 1987 vintage, the Chardonnay grapes were harvested between September 9th and September 29th, achieving a ripeness of 23.8° Brix, a total acidity of 0.86 gm/100ml, and a pH of 3.26. Under the direction of Winemaster Edward Sbragia, the vinification process utilized a dual approach. Forty-three percent of the juice was fermented in small French oak barrels, while the remaining 57 percent underwent fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, 91 percent of the wine was aged for four months in a combination of French Nevers and Limousin oak barrels, with the final 9 percent aged in stainless steel before bottling at 13.4 percent alcohol.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
California
California is the United States' most important wine-producing state, accounting for over 80 percent of the country's total wine production. The area extends more than 1,300 kilometres along the Pacific coast from Mendocino in the north to San Diego in the south and contains 149 officially recognised AVAs spread across four main regions: North Coast (Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino), Central Coast (Monterey, Paso Robles, Santa Barbara), Central Valley (Lodi, Madera) and South Coast.
The climate is dominated by cool sea winds and morning fog from the Pacific, which give marked diurnal temperature swings and extended ripening. The soils are highly varied, ranging from volcanic and alluvial types to limestone and slate. The main varieties include Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc. The style ranges widely from slender, acid-driven Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from cool coastal AVAs to full-bodied, fruit-driven Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel from warmer inland regions. The area is known as one of the world's most diverse and quality-focused wine landscapes.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded while this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
