Stonestreet Estate Upper Barn Vineyard Chardonnay 2019

Stonestreet Estate Upper Barn Vineyard Chardonnay 2019 is an exceptional single-vineyard Chardonnay from California's Alexander Valley, grown high in the Mayacamas Mountains at approximately 1,800 feet. Barrel-fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged for 10 months in French oak, this elegant wine combines rich texture with vibrant acidity and remarkable minerality. Aromas of stargazer lily, kumquat, and fennel lead into a layered palate of nectarine preserves, honeycomb, toasted almonds, and citrus. Its concentrated fruit, refined oak influence, and long, mouthwatering finish showcase the distinctive character of Stonestreet's mountain vineyards.

Food Pairing: Butter-poached lobster, seared scallops, roasted chicken, grilled salmon, creamy mushroom risotto, aged Gruyère, and herb-roasted vegetables.
