Description
The 2014 Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard White Bones Chardonnay is a remarkable expression of high-altitude Argentine viticulture. Sourced from the Adrianna Vineyard, located at nearly 5,000 feet elevation in Gualtallary, Tupungato, this wine benefits from calcareous soils rich in marine fossils, imparting a distinctive minerality. The nose reveals citrus and stone fruit aromas, complemented by floral and wet stone nuances. On the palate, it offers vibrant acidity, flavors of white peach and lemon zest, and a lingering, saline finish. Renowned wine critic James Suckling awarded this vintage 99 points, praising its complexity and aging potential. This Chardonnay exemplifies the finesse achievable in Mendoza’s high-altitude terroirs.
