This is the newest thing from catena these stones came down from the mountains 50,000 years ago this soils cacium carbonate making them white. These are white wines to be aged probably the first to be made on the white varietals to be aged. High altitude cool climate

My first white stones. Interesting typicity that’s unfamiliar to me. Unlike any chard I’ve had. For my taste this is best slightly below cellar temp. There’s a lot going on. When too cold, the lemon/lime aspect overwhelmed the rest of it.

Beautiful Chardonnay w lots of chalky minerality and a saline finish. Initially it’s all about the minerals, but opens up with air to include lemon, gold and green apples, pear, and white peach. A touch of vanilla on the nose becomes elegant cream and pastry on the palate. Opulent yet refined.
