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

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.
