Hillinger Chardonnay is grown on loess and black earth soils and matured exclusively in steel tanks, with two months on the lees and regular lees stirring. This increases its complexity and structure while retaining its freshness and fruitiness.

The Chardonnay has a storage potential of up to two years and a screw cap, making it ideal for prompt consumption.
