New Release. An elegant un-oaked Chardonnay from Italy-themed LaStella Winery that offers good complexity of candied fruit, banana and apple on the clean nose and crisp palate while managing to remain a simple, no-fuss, crowd-pleaser.

New Release. Combinations of stainless steel and oak aging with an NFL-like playbook of variations was used to create an overtly complex and tasty dry wine that offers rich tropical fruit, herbal, mineral, lees and light oak characters on the nose and palate.
