Alta Chardonnay 2022
The grapes for the Catena Zapata Alta Chardonnay hail from high-altitude vineyards in the Mendoza region of Argentina.
The elevation and unique climatic conditions of this region contribute significantly to the wine's quality and complexity. Crafted with meticulous care in small lots, the grapes are harvested by hand and gently whole-cluster pressed. Fermentation takes place in French oak barrels, followed by maturation sur lie in the same casks—a process that imparts complex aromatics and an elegant structure.
The Catena Zapata Alta Chardonnay is celebrated for its poise and refinement. It offers aromas of tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango, accompanied by subtle notes of vanilla, toasted brioche, and nuts. Well-balanced acidity lends freshness and vibrancy, while a silky texture leads into a lingering, harmonious finish.
Distinguished by its elegance and finesse, this Chardonnay offers a seamless marriage of ripe fruit, bright acidity, and nuanced oak—an exceptional choice for wine lovers who appreciate a complex yet immediately inviting Chardonnay.
