Description
The 2022 White Stones Chardonnay stands out as an aristocratic, terroir-driven expression of high-altitude Mendoza. It combines verticality, minerality, and vibrant citrus with nuanced herbal and saline complexity. Leaner and more laser-focused than its White Bones sibling, it’s a captivating Chardonnay for lovers of Chablis-like tension. Drink now through mid‑2030s, but fans of crisp, layered whites should consider cellaring.
Delicate aroma with mineral notes and white flowers, in the mouth it is a wine of great elegance, with delicious flavors of jasmine and white peach, gently intertwined with a fresh mineral side. It has a lively and refreshing acidity with a long, lingering finish.
James Suckling 98 Points - This is always minerally and incisive and very different from White Bones. This is more classic chardonnay, with lots of freshly squeezed lemons, wet stone, flint and seashells. Brisk acidity on a medium- to full-bodied palate. Tense and intense, but this is acid-driven with a fine touch of salinity that lingers at the end.
