The winemakers and vineyard managers at Bernardus select grapes based on terroir, knowing that the right plot of soil with the right climate will produce a winner. It’s like the difference between building on States Avenue or the Boardwalk. One will get you table wine, the other is Bernardus’ Sauvignon Blanc, with its zesty aromas and notions of lemon curd and tropical fruits over a bed of dried grass and herbs, with an aged minerality. This is winemaking for the Park Place set.
