St Annes Vineyards Chardonnay
This lively straw coloured Chardonnay opens with rich melon, honeydew and citrus aromas that are delicately supported by fresh nougat and vanilla notes from barrel fermentation.

A wine to be enjoyed now.
Range Life Pet Nat Chardonnay
If you’re after a fun, bright fizz ideal for cracking over summer celebrations, look no further than the Range Life Pet Nat Chardonnay.

The Chardonnay goes through half a ferment before bottling takes place, and that’s where the fun begins! Once in bottle, the rest of the ferment takes place. The trapped CO2 creates bubbles upon bubbles, and there you have it! A joyous bottle of refreshing fizz.
