✨ Tekniske specifikationer
JM Cellars' Stillwater Creek Vineyard Chardonnay is a beautiful expression of one of Washington State's most acclaimed cool-climate sites. Located on the Frenchman Hills in the Columbia Valley, Stillwater Creek Vineyard is renowned for its unique fractured basalt soils and northern exposure, which allow white wine grapes to ripen slowly while retaining brilliant natural acidity. This vineyard was a pioneer in Washington for planting premium French clones, which JM Cellars meticulously utilizes to craft a Chardonnay of exceptional depth. Fermented and aged in French oak barrels with regular lees stirring, this wine strikes a masterful balance between rich, creamy texture and vibrant, mineral-driven freshness, showcasing notes of crisp orchard fruit, toasted brioche, and citrus blossom.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
JM Cellars blev grundlagt i 1998 af John og Peggy Bigelow og er et anerkendt, familiedrevet vinhus beliggende i de fredfyldte, skovklædte omgivelser ved Bramble Bump i Woodinville, Washington, suppleret af deres egne vinmarker på Margaret's Vineyard i Walla Walla Valley. Vinhuset er dedikeret til bæredygtigt håndværk i små partier og henter førsteklasses druer fra velrenommerede AVA'er i Pacific Northwest for at skabe vine med harmonisk struktur og ægte druetypicitet. JM Cellars roses især for sin alsidige og udtryksfulde portefølje, der spænder fra karakteristiske Bordeaux-blends og enkeltmarks-Cabernet Sauvignon til livfulde Rhône-druer og hvidvine i stærkt begrænsede mængder.
