Tasting Profile

This exceptional Chardonnay presents vibrant aromas of lime, green apple, and herbs with subtle ginger and acacia notes. The palate showcases lemon zest, grapefruit, white peach, and green apple, complemented by chalky minerality and wet stone character from the distinctive White Stones terroir.

Winemaking Excellence

Hand-harvested grapes undergo fermentation in French oak barrels for 45-95 days, followed by 12-16 months aging in 2nd-4th use French oak with partial malolactic fermentation. This meticulous vinification creates remarkable texture and complexity.
