Catena Chardonnay 2023

Introduction

The Catena Chardonnay combines the unique expressions of three high altitude vineyard sites. The wine shows an intense greenish color with yellow notes. The extraordinary combination of these vineyards offer honey and tropical fruit flavors while lending notes of citrus, pears, peaches, and white flowers with a strong minerality and a delicated note of vanilla. The mouthfeel is clean, with a fresh, clean acidity.

93 Points – James Suckling

Fresh and creamy notes of pie crust, lemon curd and toast. Bright, juicy and elegant on the palate with a fluid, lengthy finish. A very good value here.

91 Points – Vinous

The 2023 Chardonnay Catena was primarily sourced from the Uco Valley. Aged for up to 12 months in French oak barrels, this yellow-hued wine reveals aromas of hazelnut, pear and herbs, with a subtle floral note. Indulgent and broad yet refreshing, the oak imparted a plush texture without adding structure to the palate-a savory.
