Our friend Chef Conny Andersson created this recipe to pair with our Standing Stone Blanc de Blanc, and it has been an immediate favorite: Serrano Ham Chips with Piquillo Pepper Pimento Cheese Dip.
Crispy, paper-thin ham chips alongside a house-made dip of roasted piquillo peppers, aged cheddar, and sherry vinegar, alongside the rich, yet bright, fine mousse of the 2020 vintage of our Standing Stone Blanc de Blanc.

The secret behind the color? Saperavi is one of the rare grapes where pigment runs through the pulp itself therefore no skin contact is needed. That same depth carries into the glass, with ripe cherry, a lift of lime zest, and enough structure to stand up to whatever you`re grilling this spring.

Our biodynamic program is headed across the pond!
This year marks the beginning of our transition toward being fully biodynamic practicing at Standing Stone. We`re starting from the ground up — with the soil — focusing on organic manure, cover crops, and a tea-based spray program that mirrors what we`ve built at HJW.
It`s the first step in a multi-year journey toward Demeter certification, as we continue to expand our overall approach to healthy vineyards, farms, and land. Standing Stone has a rich history, and by adopting these practices, we`re striving to better preserve this special site for the future.
