VGW Chardonnay - 2019

VGW stands for “Very Good White,” and it’s 00 Wines calling card. Comprising four vineyards and three Dijon Chardonnay clones (plus the Mendoza clone), it’s wonderfully balanced—rich yet bright, lush yet tense, showing both structure and texture. A blend of four vineyards and three Dijon clones (as well as the Mendoza clone), VGW manages to be many things at the same time: rich, but bright; lush, but with tension; structured, and textural. This is the winery’s calling card and largest production cuvée.
