The 2022 Chardonnay Adrianna Vineyard White Stones hails from a cool and slightly dry vintage in the Uco Valley. Sourced from a small gravel and limestone plot in Gualtallary it displays a green hue in the glass. Its aromas feature lime green apple and herbs with subtle notes of ginger and acacia. Dry nimble and refreshing the chalky texture enlivens the slightly lean palate with a long-lasting fruit-driven finish. A high-altitude wine the 2022 growing season brought an extra layer of freshness to this Chardonnay. - By Joaquín Hidalgo on October 2024

James Suckling: 97 Points

This is always minerally and incisive and very different from White Bones. This is more classic chardonnay with lots of freshly squeezed lemons wet stone flint and seashells. Brisk acidity on a medium- to full-bodied palate. Tense and intense but this is acid-driven with a fine touch of salinity that lingers at the end. Drink or hold. Zekun Shuai Senior Editor
