"A true ' Favorite,' this New Zealand Chardonnay will leave a lasting impression on your palate with its absolutely unique flavors—what a discovery!"

The 2023 Pioneer Chardonnay offers unique aromas of white peach, brioche, and smoke, and unfolds with elegance and creaminess on the palate—supple and pastry-like—balanced by vibrant acidity that lingers into a fresh, indulgent finish: undoubtedly a gourmet Chardonnay! • Screw cap
