Winemaker's Background:
Varner Wine, owned and operated by brothers Bob and Jim Varner, has been crafting site-driven wines since planting their estate vineyard in 1980. Though best known for their small-production, terroir-driven Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Spring Ridge Vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the Foxglove label allows the Varners to produce value-oriented wines from the broader Central Coast. Sourcing fruit from premium sites in Santa Barbara and Paso Robles, the Foxglove lineup reflects the same careful winemaking approach, offering exceptional balance, varietal purity, and accessibility.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve chilled at 8–10°C in a white wine glass to emphasize its fresh aromatics and vibrant acidity. Ideal pairings include grilled shrimp, lemon-roasted chicken, vegetable risotto, goat cheese, and fresh summer salads.
The 2019 Foxglove Chardonnay, Central Coast, USA delivers a beautifully fresh and vibrant expression of California Chardonnay, balancing pure fruit character with bright acidity and a polished, unoaked profile that’s ready to enjoy on any occasion.
