Product Notes

Frog's Leap Shale and Stone Chardonnay is a decadently smooth Californian white wine. Hailing from the refined palates of Napa Valley, it boasts an enchanting blend of green apple, pear, and citrus flavours. The crème brulée undertones coupled with a distinct minerality lend it an impeccable balance. This sophisticated Chardonnay, with its subtle oak influence, is noteworthy for its shale-driven depth and creamy complexity. It is a charming accompaniment to seafood and poultry dishes or delightful on its own. Overall, Frog's Leap Shale and Stone Chardonnay presents a tasteful fusion of traditional winemaking and modern elegance.

Tasting Notes

Shale and Stone' on the label is reflective of the deep minerality of the vineyard's ancient fractured shale soils and the freshness of the varietal. With long sur lie aging in concrete, it is taut but generous, and full yet bright on the palate.
