The Stonehaven Limited Vineyard Release Padthaway Chardonnay 2023, marked by a triumphant return of the Stonehaven winery with a modern twist, encapsulates the essence of the Limestone Coast. Built in 1998 by Hardy’s, Stonehaven has made a name for itself with a focus on showcasing the regional specialties.
This Chardonnay bursts with aromatic notes of stone fruit and apple, complemented by subtle herbal and mineral undertones. Its medium body carries flavors of honeysuckle and white nectarine, enriched by a creamy mouthfeel and a finish that persists. The winemaking process includes oak fermentation, partial malolactic fermentation, and eight months maturation on yeast lees, contributing to its complexity with layers of mango skin, green papaya, and yellow peach, alongside accents of raw walnut, cream cheese, and cinnamon. Rated 92 & 93 points and awarded a Special Value Star by James Halliday, this Chardonnay presents a taut, yet fleshed-out structure, revealing an elegant intensity with lemon, fig, melon, and pear notes, and a hint of vanilla spice that makes it highly attractive now, with potential to delight over the next four to five years.
