Winemaking team · Stillwater Row Cellars

The fictional cellar program combines temperature-controlled fermentation with time on fine lees. Neutral vessels keep the focus on fruit, while occasional lees stirring adds texture. This is a style imagined around clarity and a clean finish, with the winemaking supporting the character of the grape.

An imagined team and approach, created for this fictional wine collection.

A PLACE. AN APPROACH.

Behind the label.

Stillwater Row 2022 is our fictional expression of Chardonnay from Sonoma Valley. Its tasting profile starts with pear, brioche, toasted hazelnut. The imagined producer, Stillwater Row Cellars, works toward a wine that feels at home with food: expressive on the first pour, then more detailed as it settles into the glass. This bottle gives the collection a distinct starting point without asking you to commit your whole case to one style.

The palate is framed by fresh acidity, with a little breadth through the middle rather than an overtly rich finish. Fruit and floral impressions sit alongside a gentle mineral note. As the chill leaves the glass, the texture becomes more apparent and the quieter aromas have room to emerge.
