Stony Hill Chardonnay 2015
/ #57649031
Located in northern Napa Valley, Stony Hill has been working with Chardonnay on the slopes of Spring Mountain since the early 1950s. Working with their own steep vineyards and a low-intervention approach, vinification traditionally takes place with fermentation and aging in older, neutral barrels to preserve the grapes' natural character and acidity. No new barrels are added, giving a more subdued and refined profile compared to typical barrel-aged Napa Chardonnay.
The 2015 vintage in Napa was characterized by small harvests and a compact growing season, which often produced wines with concentration and good balancing acidity. Stony Hills Chardonnay is known for its rigorous, mineral style and durability, developing slowly with tertiary nuances over several years. The wine has often been praised for its freshness and ability to appear both classic and understated despite the area's reputation for fuller & barrel-aged versions.
