Wine Description:
The Adrianna Vineyard was established in the early 1990s, situated at a lofty 1,450 meters above sea level, nestled at the base of the Andes in the Gualtallary region known as Monasterio. Today, it stands as a significant source of white wines in Argentina. "Stones," in particular, originates from alluvial soil laden with calcareous stones. The aroma is marked by fruity notes, including hints of sweet white fruits, accompanied by mineral undertones with a touch of salinity. The palate is robust, showcasing its strength and pronounced salinity, further enhanced by a percentage of the wine undergoing aging under a flor veil. This interplay of flavors adds complexity, while the acidity, notably pronounced in this vintage, imparts a delightful verticality to Stones, making it a refreshing and standout white wine.
