Markstone Chardonnay
Everyday California Chardonnay, priced like it. Honest and dry.
The story behind Markstone
Markstone is a value label, the kind of bottle that lands on the shelf at a price that makes you look twice. The Chardonnay is California in style: ripe orchard fruit, a soft middle, and enough acidity to keep it from going flabby. It is not built to be a showpiece. It is built to be opened on a Tuesday.
We have carried this line for years because it does a simple job well. The grapes are Chardonnay, the winemaking is straightforward, and the price stays put. You get a clean, fruit forward white that pours well chilled and does not ask you to think about it. That is the whole pitch, and it holds up.

Which Markstone is right for you?
Markstone sits at $9.98 a bottle across the line, and that is the point. You can put a Chardonnay in the fridge for the week and not think about the cost. Buy one to try, or take a mixed three pack and cover a dinner. At this price the Chardonnay is the value pick, and the Pinot Grigio and Cabernet hold the same line. No hype, just a fair bottle at a fair number.
Chilled, fruit forward, and cheap enough to open without a reason.
Lighter than the Chardonnay, citrusy, and easy on a warm evening.
Dark fruit and soft tannin for anyone who wants red at the table.
Markstone cocktails and pairings
