We fermented this wine with 100% indigenous yeast in various French oak, 82% barrel fermented mainly seasoned oak and 18% in 900 gal round oak cask. The wine was aged on lees for 8 month in barrel/cask without lees stirring. Gentle racking to tank prior to blending and bottling.
Fritz Stuhlmuller & Family
Stuhlmuller Vineyard Estate was established over 30 years ago and is nestled in a unique river bench and hillside location on the southwestern edge of the Alexander Valley, where three of Northern Sonoma County's top appellations come together. There, virtually a stone's throw from Chalk Hill and the Russian River Valley, the vineyard's ancient soils and perfect microclimate provide the ideal environment for growing exceptional Chardonnay.
Fritz Stuhlmuller graduated from the University of Southern California in 1994 with a degree in business administration. Sensing an ideal opportunity to combine his family's reputation as top grape growers with his own passion for fine wine upon his return to the Bay Area, Fritz established the estate winery bearing the Stuhlmuller name 17 years ago.
Richly layered flavors of cherry, Santa Rosa plum and black currant, with floral and spice notes. Rich and elegant texture, with well-structured tannins and long fruit finish.
