“Crafted from the coldest and most humid vintage of the last two decades, the 2016 Chardonnay Adrianna Vineyard White Stones seems untouched by age. A vibrant, green-toned wine, it presents aromas of arugula and herbs, along with notes of green apple, peach pit and hints of ginger. Dry, lean and chalky, it glides across the palate with a nimble, Chablis-like texture. This is very impressive for an Argentine Chardonnay, with a mountain heart pulsing in the glass.” — Vinous, Nov 2024

“My favorite of the Adrianna whites, the 2016 White Stones Chardonnay was cropped from a low-yielding, cool and wet year, very unusual weather in Mendoza. It's sharp, austere, mineral and long. No matter how impressed I was with the 2015 or the two vintages of the White Bones I tasted next to it, this stole the show. It has a combination of mineral notes that transmit a serious sensation with hints of flowers, spices and herbs that show in a very subtle way. The palate is liquid chalk, with sharp and pungent flavors, nicely textured. It's precise, linear, long and sharp, with great length and persistence. It will be fascinating to see how this wine evolves in bottle, because I think we can have a big surprise in ten years from now.”
