"A Chardonnay typical of the highlands of the Andes: fresh acidity and a creamy, succulent palate—the critics are unanimous!"
“Aromas of sliced apples, buttercream, lemon curd, and cashews emanate from this creamy white wine. It is full-bodied and velvety, yet remains very fresh, with excellent concentration and a long, rich, and lively finish. Drink now or celller.” (James Suckling 2025)

About the wine:
The 2024 Catena Chardonnay is a blend made primarily from grapes grown in the Uco Valley, with a small portion from Luján de Cuyo. The nose reveals aromas of honey and lychee, accompanied by tropical notes. Creamy and fruity, it offers a fresh, lingering finish. An alluring style. 2025–2032
