Stonier Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay 2016
This wine has a lively and driven palate, with a tight framework releasing subtle arrays of bright citrus fruits and firm white peach.
Its hints of a creamy texture will build over time, but for the moment the energy and freshness so typical of a 2016 Chardonnay are at the forefront of the palate.
Its long and persistent finish is an attribute Stonier always looks for when crafting Chardonnay.

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 2016 Stonier Chardonnay was fermented in a mix of French oak barriques, puncheons (10% new) and in tank (30%), with a total maturation period of nearly 10 months. Several batches from our coolest vineyards were allowed to undergo the acid-softening malo-lactic fermentation (approximately 30%), with the remaining portion withheld to preserve the lovely pure flavours of a very strong Chardonnay vintage.
