Product Notes

Frog's Leap Shale and Stone Chardonnay is a delightful Californian white wine. This sustainable crowd-pleaser is complex with overt green apple and pear aromas, complemented by vivacious citrus and gentle oak undertones. Displaying pristine clarity, the minerality imparted from the stone and shale soils provides a distinct character. Crisp on the palate and beautifully balanced, the wine boasts an elegant long finish. The wine rests on the lees for 14 months, developing rich textures and flavours. It's an exquisite choice for those who enjoy elegantly structured, refreshing Chardonnay. Frog's Leap continues to charm with their eco-friendly viticulture and quality winemaking.

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.
