Estate White Blend

White Blend Alexander Valley

$55

DESCRIPTION

The 2023 blend is aromatically driven with a beautiful bouquet of blood orange, honeysuckle and white nectarine that carry across the palate along with racy acidity and layers of texture. The Assyrtiko leads the blend with its captivating aromatic profile along with its quenching acidity and salinity while the Semillon adds depth to the blend with its rich, round texture and subtle notes of stone fruit and honey. Just a touch of Malvasia Bianca brightens and intensifies the blend’s overall aromatic quality. Together, these varieties celebrate a truly unique expression and exploration of our mountain’s potential.

Pocket Peak

Our vineyards lie within the proposed Pocket Peak American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the eastern highlands of the Alexander Valley AVA.

Pocket Peak is defined by its elevated topography and distinctions in climate, precipitation, and soils. The petition to establish Pocket Peak as a new AVA was filed with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau in February 2022.

Alexander Valley

The Stonestreet winery and tasting room sit on the tranquil valley floor facing the mountains where we farm our fruit.

The Alexander Valley AVA was made official in 1984, and it outlines the path of the Russian River flowing from Mendocino County down to Healdsburg. Grapes were grown commercially in this valley as early as the 1840s and gained a reputation for superb quality in the 1960s and ‘70s. The proposed Pocket Peak AVA will distinguish between grapes grown at high elevation—including Stonestreet fruit—and grapes grown in the valley below.
