Robert Stemmler Carneros Chardonnay 2008

The 2008 Chardonnay is a combination of three sites from the Donum Estate, the oldest of which is Ferguson planted in 1974 to the famous Wente Selection. The old vine depth of the Wente is what provides the backbone of our Chardonnay. A younger block of Dijon clone brings sweetness of ripe fruits, and lastly our Southern exposed block at Donum planted to Wiemer and Monticello is what provides crisp acidity and perfume.Stemmler wines are handcrafted, limited releases of estate grown varietals. The mission of our dedicated vineyard and winemaking team is to produce world-class wines noteworthy in style and intensity.


Ripe mouth-watering Granny Smith apple and rich lemony aromas combine with scents of citrus blossom and honeysuckle in the seductive nose of this Chardonnay. This heavyweight wine has a depth of melon engulfed in a fleshy texture with undertones of citrus and a long mineral finish.
