Stone Cold
Don't let a wine with even the honeyest of bouquets come between you and your best friend.
Hey Beth. Hey Medusa. Whatcha girls up … WHOA! Why didn't you warn me that you weren't wearing your eye masks?
"Oops! Sorry, Joe. Medusa and I are just having a staring contest. Whichever one turns the most animals into stone wins this bottle of Stonier Australian Chardonnay."
Yeah. And I'M winning! That's three rabbits and four prairie dogs so far. Hold on. Make that FIVE prairie dogs.
"That wine must be pretty good for you to want to turn all these poor little animals into stone."
It is pretty good. It's quite dry, but the generous fruits on the nose and the creamy mid-palate structure are balanced by the crisp acidity. Honestly, though this is really more about winning than winning the wine. You know how competitive Medusa can be.
"How could I forget? I still miss my dog, Noodles. But we just use his little stone body as a fancy doorstop now."
HA! That makes four rabbits, four prairie dogs, one squirrel and one newt for me! I WIN! Eons from now, children all over the world will open their mythology books and read the story of BETH: The deadliest-staring girl to ever walk the face of the Earrrppp …
"Medusa! You just turned Beth to stone!"
Meh. She was getting on my nerves. Wine?
Features
2007 Stonier Chardonnay, Mornington Peninsula 750ml 4-Pack
2007 was a challenging growing season - with quite a dry, but cool and windy Spring, then a very dry ripening and harvest period. Very low yields resulted from the drought and the poor fruit set, with very small bunches and low berry numbers. The fruit was also picked at somewhat lower sugar levels than in the past, displaying excellent fruit flavors, but maintaining the high natural acidity Stonier prizes.
Color: Pale gold, with green tints
Aroma: Exotic passionfruit and guava notes, lemon and honey bouquet, with subtle hints of malolactic fermentation and French oak
Palate: The palate reflects the generous fruit of the nose, with typical creamy mid-palate structure balanced by crisp acidity.
