Tasting Notes

Aroma

Layered and complex with a bouquet of cashew nuts, straw, citrus, honey, sourdough and mocha oak.

Maturation

Fermented in a mix of French oak puncheons (10% new with a large percentage of one and two year) together with some older barriques for a total maturation period of 10 months followed by time in tank after blending. Bottled: March 2023.

Palate

The creamy viscosity of the yellow peach and honey flavours is balanced by savoury notes of toast and a satiating finish, like alpine water filtered through stone.

Range Notes

Stonier is a family-owned winery in Merricks on the Mornington Peninsula and was one of the original pioneers, planted in 1978.

Vintage Notes

The 2022 season was influenced by unsettled weather the previous spring resulting in smaller crops. Mild weather and slightly above average rainfall best describes the growing season but a very dry February ensured that fruit ripened evenly and the grapes were in great condition for harvest.

Region Notes

The grapes for Stonier Chardonnay were selected from several Stonier long-term vineyards, from Merricks through to the higher elevation vineyards in Red Hill. With the long history of Stonier on the Mornington Peninsula, most of these vineyards are now in excess of 15 years old, with many more than 25 years old.
