The 2023 Chardonnay Adrianna Vineyard White Stones from Gualtallary, Tupungato, delivers an expressive profile with notes of green apple, mountain herbs, light nuttiness, acacia and chamomile, framed by understated oak and a hint of flint. Dry, vibrant and energized by acidity, it has a chalky texture and delicate tension, leading to a long, refined finish.

This shows characteristic aromas of green ginger, stone fruit, herbs and stony austerity. The palate is austere, almost severe, focused entirely on chalky texture and tension. Sourced from a section of vineyard with granite boulders covered in calcium carbonate. Pressed once with whole bunches, then aged in 500-liter barrels and 30% in tanks. It develops flor during aging, adding further complexity. Drink or hold.

The 2023 Adrianna Vineyard Chardonnay White Stones showcases its classic aromatic purity and focus, centering on aromas of citrus peels, iodine and dried herbs, complemented by an elegant hint of pastry cream in the background. The palate continues this combination with a sculpted, precisely defined texture that extends into a dazzlingly focused, ethereal conclusion. Initially quite restrained, it gradually and consistently reveals textural depth and length on the finish, and I suspect it will warrant a higher score with additional time in bottle.
