Hard to believe this is our fourth vintage of our Kristi Chardonnay.  As we all know it is named after our beloved Kristi Huber and just like her is lovely, gracious, and full of life. When this wine is first opened the aroma from the bottle is mouthwatering. As it is poured in the glass the nose has a beautiful combination of fresh pear and apple and a touch of apple pie.  On the palate the baked fruit dominates with a touch of lemon curd and vanilla.  This wine is perfectly balanced and stands as an example of how stunning chardonnay elevaged in oak can be. The Sur lie aging with battonage every week for the first four weeks and every two weeks after that gives this wine a voluptuousness – lovely, soft and round.  Our guests have always loved the 2019 vintage and now we have this exceptional wine – just terrific. With this varietal, congruent and contrasting food pairings both work.  Pairing with anything buttery –sole meunière, a buttery roast chicken, sauces like hollandaise or béarnaise, shrimp scampi. It is also great with vegetables like butternut squash and pumpkin, creamy pasta, and a variety of cheeses.

At Stone Tower we now have approximately 13 acres across the diverse micro-climates and soils of our property’s southeastern exposure.
