Estate vineyards chardonnay 2018 (Stonestreet)

Drink it now or cellar for up to 8 years. No need to decant. Founded aby Jess Jackson in 1989, Stonestreet Estate Vineyards is a Californian winery in the Alexander Valley sub-appellation, in Sonoma County, known for its range of Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay wines from single vineyards. The vineyards of the estate extend for about 400 hectares at the foot of the Mayacamas mountains, at heights between 120 and 730 m above sea level. Each individual plot has different characteristics of elevation, aspect, and exposure resulting in different microclimates. For this reason, they are all treated separately. The Chardonnay grapes for this splendid wine are selected from a range of parcels in the best vineyards of the Stonestreet mountain estate. The wine is produced with care so that it expresses decisively the distinctive elements of its terroir and of the specific vintage. The Stonestreet Estate Vineyards Chardonnay has the delicious sweetness of caramelized apples and pineapple and the juicy freshness of stone fruit with a gentle touch of salinity and some citrus notes. On the palate, it is warm and round with a good concentration of fruit and a pleasant freshness. It is lively and has great length. Try it on its own or with shellfish or crab.
