The Plan Chardonnay
BackgroundThe Plan is a unique range of wines that are vibrant and fruit-driven with a spine of elegant acidity. Innovative and of high-quality, The Plan from McGuigan Wines are varietally true with a distinct sense of place. Grapes for The Plan are sourced from top quality vineyards all over South Eastern Australia, including McLaren Vale, Langhorne Creek and Barossa Valley.
