More from this Producer

Verterra WineryMerlot

Fruit from 3 vineyards are co-fermented and aged in French oak to create this elegant, dry, medium ruby wine. Enjoy now or let time take its youthfulness and enjoy through 2035

Verterra WineryPinot Gris

Pinot Gris is a softer, more complex version of the widely popular Italian style Pinot Grigio which tends to be lighter and more zesty.

Verterra WineryChaos White

This wine is a 'chaotic' blend of white wine grapes harvested off of our estate vineyards. It expresses a tropical fruit nose and a perfect balance between acid and residual sweetness

Verterra WineryReserve Chardonnay

Our Reserve Chardonnay spends its entire life in French Oak. It is a complex wine expressing fruit notes, with a rounded acidity from the malolactic fermentation and with a nice subtle hint of toast.
