Old Stones Chardonnay is the baby sister to Bergström's Sigrid Chardonnay, a selection of fresh-fruited and mineral-laden barrels of wine to highlight Oregon Chardonnay at its most charming an elegant. 
  • Winemaker: Josh Bergström
  • Varieties: Chardonnay
  • Farming: Biodynamic
  • Terroir: Estate-sourced from Bergström, Winery Block, La Spirale, Silice, & Le Pré du Col Vineyards in Dundee Hills, Ribbon Ridge, and Chehalem Mountains AVAs. Chardonnay represents about 15% of total Bergström estate acreage.
    • Vine Age: Average 25 years old
    • Soil: Balanced blend of marine sedimentary sand on sandstone bedrock/shales and red, volcanic soils on basalt
    • Exposure: Primarily south-facing at elevations between 375 & 500 feet
  • Vinification: Whole-cluster,”champagne-style,” gentle, and lengthy press. Native fermentation in 10-15% new French oak barriques and select large format vessels (oval foudres, puncheons, and demi-muids). 100% malolactic and alcoholic fermentation (no residual sugars or malic acids).
  • Aging: 18 months élevage on lees in barrel.
  • Tasting Notes: Pale in color. Driven by aromas of crushed oyster shell, lemon verbena, and nectarines. Mineral expression carries through on the palate that bursts with flint and citrus oils. A vibrant and refreshing acidity integrates beautifully with the structured richness of oak, brioche, and stone fruit flavors to create a lasting succulent finish.
  • Alcohol: 13.13%
  • Scores: 93 Points, Wine Advocate: The 2020 Chardonnay Old Stones has slowly opening scents of honey, hazelnuts and golden apples. The palate is light-bodied and satiny with pure, gently honeyed fruit, focused acidity and a refreshing, delicate finish. — Erin Brooks, March 2023
