2024 Stoller Reserve Chardonnay

We are forever grateful the 2024 vintage provided near-perfect fruit quality. Warm temperatures and a heat spike in May initiated early flavor development. June brought cooler weather, causing bloom two weeks later than usual. By summertime, the diurnal swings of more than 35 degrees created concentrated flavor with balanced acidity in the fruit. Mid-August presented an unusual rain event, giving the vines a healthy drink of water. As we started harvest, Mother Nature presented incredible, sunny days with crisp nights, ensuring our fruit was cold and berries were intact through destemming and fermentation. We knew this year would be special while walking the vineyard, and the wines reflect this exceptional vintage.
