Varner El Camino Vineyard Chardonnay 2017 (750ml) New Zealand

Varner El Camino Vineyard Chardonnay 2017 (750ml) New ZealandWinemaker Notes Notes of tropical fruit framed and lifted by bright acidity that carries into citrus and apple flavors. A tightly coiled Chardonnay that is reflective of the Varner style and a tremendous value! The wine was fermented 100% in stainless steel then aged in a combination of new Francois Freres puncheons (26%) for 6 months and the remainder (74%) in stainless steel on the lees with no malolactic fermentation.
