Catena Chardonnay · 2024
The Catena Chardonnay is a white with structure and all the aromatic richness characteristic of wines made by this Mendoza winery. Used in its production are Chardonnay grapes emanating from three vineyards (Agrelo, Villa Bastías and Gualtallary) and the wine delightfully picks up the complexity of the three locations, appearing balsamic, expressive, full of life and fruit, yellow fruits, with an oak undertone perfectly blended as found in all Catena wines, thanks to the reduction in recent vintages of the proportion both of wine that undergoes malolactic fermentation (15%) and of new barrels (only 20%). Crisp in texture and mineral, it's a fantastic Chardonnay from the Argentinian Andes.

About the vineyard[+]
The wines of Mendoza are world-renowned for their quality and diversity. Located at the foot of the Andes, this wine region of Argentina benefits from an ideal climate, with sunny days and cool nights that allow the grapes to ripen optimally. Among the most prominent varieties are the area's flagship Malbec, along with Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Chardonnay. Mendoza wines tend to have a deep character, with intense fruit flavours and excellent structure, ideal for pairing with meats and hearty dishes.
