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

"Aromas of cut apples, buttercream, lemon cream and cashew nuts emerge from this creamy white wine. It's full-bodied and unctuous, yet very fresh, with excellent concentration and a long, rich, lively finish. Drink now or cellar. (James Suckling 2025)

About the wine:

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