The estate was founded in 1838 by John Reynell, who emigrated from Devon, England, and established the winery 22 kilometers south of Adelaide. The historic chateau building continues to serve as the center of the estate's operations. Historically, the Reynell family were also prominent members of the Adelaide Hunt Club.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates from McLaren Vale in South Australia, the country's most significant wine-producing state, which accounts for over half of the national production. McLaren Vale is one of the oldest and most recognized wine areas in the region, with its first vines also planted in 1838. Situated about 40 kilometers south of Adelaide, the area stretches from the Gulf St Vincent coastline to the Mount Lofty Ranges. The region features a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and mild winters, where temperatures are moderated by cooling sea breezes and winds descending from the mountains. The local geology is highly complex, encompassing over 40 different soil types, including red-brown sandy loam, limestone, and iron-rich terra rossa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChardonnay is one of the world's most recognized green grape varieties, frequently cultivated in prominent regions such as Burgundy, Champagne, California, and Oregon. For this 1987 vintage, the wine was produced using exclusively McLaren Vale Chardonnay. Following the harvest, the wine was aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels for a period of nine months.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Reynella","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57670836388166,"sku":null,"price":75.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1710_f0149ca1-3f0d-45fb-923f-5f510104f037.jpg?v=1792586375","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/mclaren-vale-chardonnay-chateau-reynella-1987","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
