"A Chardonnay typical of the heights of the Andes mountain range: fresh acidity and a creamy, succulent palate: the critics are unanimous!"

"Aromas of sliced apples, buttercream, lemon curd, and cashews emerge from this creamy white wine. It is full-bodied and smooth, yet very fresh, with excellent concentration and a long, rich, lively finish. Drink now or hold." (James Suckling 2025)

The Catena Chardonnay 2024 is a blend composed mainly of grapes from the Uco Valley and a small quantity from Luján de Cuyo. The nose reveals aromas of honey and lychee, accompanied by tropical notes. Creamy and fruity, it offers a fresh and persistent finish. A seductive style. 2025-2032
