This 2018 vintage release of Stonier's Chardonnay is straw coloured with a bright array of stone fruits aromas including peach and white plum with some creamy lemon lift. A generous mouth filling palate laden with intensely flavoured fruit, interestingly tending more towards the peach spectrum of flavours than the normal citrus. There is a nice creamy texture with some oak spice adding to an overall classic Chardonnay release.

Winery & Vintage Info

Stonier was one of the first wineries to be established in the region in 1978 by Brian Stonier and his family at Merricks, on the southern edge of Victoria's Mornington Peninsula. Stonier planted Chardonnay in 1978, followed by Pinot Noir in 1982.

The 2018 Stonier Chardonnay was fermented in a mix of French oak barriques and puncheons (10% new), for a total maturation period of 10 months, with a small percentage also matured in tank. Several batches from our coolest vineyards were allowed to undergo the acid-softening malolactic fermentation (approximately 50%), with the remaining portion withheld to preserve the lovely pure regional Chardonnay.
