Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The richer, melony Chardonnay is embellished and contrasted by the focused tropical fruit and unique spice of Verdelho. A complex white wine with a silky texture and aromatics that pair with a range of foods, this is one of our two larger white blends of 2016 at a mere 110 cases.
