2023 Stewart Cellars Chardonnay

Aromas of peach skin, vanilla, and lemon tart lead into vibrant palate flavors of bright citrus and honeydew. The wine balances a hint of richness with a fresh, fruit-forward character.

Sustainable farming and hand-harvesting precede a whole-cluster pressing and 24-hour settling period. The wine undergoes 100% barrel fermentation and matures for ten months in French oak, including 28% new barrels.

The Stewart family sources this Chardonnay from the Farina Vineyard, located on the slopes of Sonoma Mountain. This high-elevation site features well-drained, rocky volcanic soils that benefit from the region’s intense sunlight and cool afternoon breezes.
