Producer notes: "Planted by the renowned Truchard family in 1979, these vines are deeply rooted in the decomposed shale and sandstone that are characteristic of the steeply-sloped hillsides of Carneros, and lend themselves perfectly to the balanced, restrained style that is our signature. Held for a handful of days in new French oak barrels, the wine is racked at the peak of its fermentation to concrete vessels, where it sits, untouched and sur lie, for up to 12 months. Grown in shale and aged in stone, our Chardonnay boasts incredible freshness and a distinct mineral edge that speaks directly to its origins. The 2020 Shale and Stone is yet another delicious example of our unique Frog’s Leap style that matches lovely hints of white flowers with crisp minerality and (ironically, in 2020) aromas of matchstick and gunpowder. Crisp, bone dry, and perfectly balanced, this wine satisfies in so many ways—with food as well as just for sipping. Alcohol 13.3%."
