Mountain Selection Chardonnay
Tasting Notes
The 2022 Chardonnay shows fresh green apple, zesty citrus, and ripe melon aromas, accented by subtle floral notes and minerality. The palate is a lively dance of juicy pear, tangy grapefruit, and lemon zest, perfectly balanced by crisp acidity, culminating in a refined, clean finish.
Vineyards
StoneCap is made with estate-grown grapes from the expansive, renowned Goose Ridge Vineyard in Washington State’s Columbia Valley. This valley and its surrounding rivers were formed during the Ice Age. The soil in this region is frequently wind-blown, leaving a “stonecap” at the top of the hills.
Winemaking
The 2022 StoneCap Chardonnay is a pure expression of bright tropical and stone fruit due to a deliberate, cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks. No malolactic fermentation was done after alcoholic fermentation completed, to preserve the natural acidity and fresh, crisp fruit flavors. The wine aged on lees for four months before being bottled.
