Markko Vineyard
WHITE WINES
Our Chardonnay is aged in a blend of new and used lightly toasted barrels for 2 years on the lees. This aging process helps to give Markko Chardonnay milder wood character than those from other regions with layers of warm baking spices.
Our Riesling offers great complexity along with notable aging potential in stainless steel tanks and resembles German style dry Rieslings.
