"The aroma of candied lemon with a hint of vanilla oak is the calling card of this concentrated and beautifully proportioned Chardonnay. Lots of freshly cut pear and a long, elegant, mineral finish. Drink now or keep." (James Suckling)
Incredibly fresh without excessive oak, this Chardonnay, planted at an altitude of 1,300 meters, is a wine of great precision in a style that is more French than American and less oaky than what is often found in Argentine whites. A great Chardonnay!

About wine:

The Catalpa Chardonnay 2017 feels harmonious and balanced, quite fresh and fruity, with moderate alcohol and medium body. The mouthfeel is smooth and fresh. It is a very pleasant and easy-to-drink Chardonnay.

The aroma of candied lemon with a hint of vanilla oak is the hallmark of this concentrated and beautifully proportioned Chardonnay. Lots of freshly cut pear and a long, elegant, mineral finish. Drink now or cellar.
