Catena Mendoza Argentina Chardonnay, 2022

I have to admit that this is my introduction to Argentinan Chardonnay. I am impressed and will be back.

Deep yellow color. Has been matured in first, second and third use barrels with partial malolactic fermentation. Aromas of white flowers, bay leaves, ripe pears and apricots. Merdium bodied with medium acidity. Broad flavors of pears, apricots, grains and nuts. A distinctive wine with its own personality.

Grapes are sourced from four historic high altitude vineyards in the foothills of the Andes. The wine sells for about $20 a bottle.
