Planted high atop Black Mountain, Stonestreet Estate Vineyards is located in the eastern portion of the Alexander Valley AVA. Climbing from 120 to 730 metres above sea level, the estate is a patchwork of peaks, valleys and ridges defined by high elevations, volcanic soils and cool maritime breezes.
Vinification
100% barrel fermented with native yeast, malo-lactic fermentation in barrel, lees stirred monthly.
Maturation
11 months in French Oak, 39% new.
Aroma
The Estate exhibits buoyant fruit - Bartlett pear, peach and golden delicious apple - with honeysuckle, sweet baking spices and an oceanic note shading the background.
Palate
The palate mirrors that exuberant tree fruit within a rich, generous texture and walks a tightrope into balancing citrus pith, and a thrilling stony note; a sly wink to the volcanic activity from 35 million years before.
