White Stones Chardonnay comes from a select 27 rows within Block 1 of the Adrianna Vineyard. The wine is then fermented in French oak barrels at low temperatures to preserve the aromatics. A little over two-thirds of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation. The name refers to the gravelly ground beneath the vines, which is covered with oval, white stones.

About the Vineyard
"White Stones" makes reference to a spot of vines that is completely covered with oval stones covered with a thin white layer of calcium. This oval white stones deposits found on the creek bed area are the result of an aluvium that came down the mountain eroding the original stones and making them rounded.
