2022 Stoller Single Acre Aligoté

NOTES FROM THE WINEMAKER

Aligoté is a unique variety, and we are always excited to have a small volume to play with in our cellar. This vintage opens with aromas of lychee, wet stones, white flowers, and underlying hints of lemon and lime. The palate has vibrant, racing acidity balanced with full-bodied texture, finishing on a bright, energetic note. 

VINTAGE OVERVIEW 

The 2022 growing season was full of surprises that resulted in a miracle harvest of delicious, age-worthy wines with balance and vibrancy. The vintage kicked off with a cold and wet spring that turned worrisome when an unusually late-season freeze event affected lower-lying sections of the vineyard. Slowly but surely, temperatures began to warm by mid-May and continued to rise throughout the summer, allowing the vines to flourish. Harvest commenced on September 13, almost four weeks behind recent vintages. Fortunately, moderate temperatures and clear skies facilitated a steady intake of fruit until finished on October 21.
