About this wine

Leopoldina Gran Chardonnay is a full-bodied, dry Chardonnay from Serra Gaúcha, supported by bright acidity that keeps the ripe fruit in balance. Expect yellow orchard fruit and citrus, with a creamy texture and gentle spice where oak ageing features in the vintage. The exact balance of fruit, oak and freshness may vary from year to year.
