With an intense nose of grapefruit peel, green mangoes and apricots, the 2014 Chardonnay Stone Flat Vineyard has spicy suggestions of coriander seed and ginger plus a waft of toast. Full-bodied, rich and pleasantly oily, it delivers tons of spice and tropical flavors with epic length.
The 2014 Chardonnay Stone Flat Vineyard is right across the road from Durrell, yet it is so remarkably different in style. Candied lemon, honey and mint are all pushed forward. The Stone Flat presents an intriguing combination of creaminess and minerality.
About the producer
Kistler’s Chardonnays are some of the world’s most sought-after. This cult Californian producer crafts small volumes of exceptional, rich and generous, yet mineral and precise wines. With almost the entire production sold directly to their mailing list, the wines are also incredibly hard to find.
