Catena Alta ‘Historic Rows’ Chardonnay 2022

Introduction

Catena Alta is an assemblage of historic rows within the Catena family state vineyards. The blend of these historic rows gives a highly aromatic and elegant wine that speaks for the terroir and the vines that have been tended by the four generations of the Catena Family. “Alta” means high in Spanish. This refers to the high-altitude vineyards from where the grapes are sourced and to the high-end wines produced with these special grapes.
This Chardonnay presents an intense greenish-yellow colour. The nose offers ripe white fruit aromas such as pears and peaches that are interwoven with delicate citrus and floral notes, such as Jasmine. The palate shows rich and concentrated ripe pear, apple and apricot flavours with a light note of minerality. The wine finishes long and complex with crisp, mineral acidity.
