Old Stones Chardonnay
Willamette Valley AVA
We believe strongly in the power and promise of Oregon Chardonnay. Old Stones Chardonnay is the baby sister to our Sigrid Chardonnay. We select fresh-fruited and mineral-laden barrels of wine to highlight Oregon Chardonnay at its most charming an elegant. Succulent upon release and ready to pair with many foods, especially dishes containing fresh seafood, shellfish, mushrooms, hazelnuts, and artisan cheese.
Josh Bergström's Notes
White gold with a green chlorophyll hue, this 12.6% alcohol beauty is very aromatic with kiwi, saffron, lemon blossom, citrus rind and wet stone mineral aromatics. There is a slight flinty, struck match note but, overall, it is an appealing floral notes with a bouquet of tea or savory herbs.
The 2016 Old Stones Chardonnay has flavors of citrus candies, reminiscent of Lemon Heads, and herbal tea, like chamomile, with savory and spicy notes. There is a core of sweet citrus fruits and vibrant acidity, which gives it an opulent austerity in a very pleasurable fashion.
