"The candied lemon nose with a hint of vanilla oak is the calling card of this concentrated, beautifully proportioned Chardonnay. Plenty of fresh-cut pear and a long, elegant, mineral finish. Drink it or cellar it." (James Suckling)
Incredibly fresh without excess wood, this Chardonnay, planted at an altitude of 1300 m, is a wine of great precision in a style more French than American, and less woody than is often found in Argentine whites. A great Chardonnay!

Expert opinion
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Rated (guide 2022) 89/100 (Very good wine)
About the wine:
Catalpa Chardonnay 2017 feels harmonious and balanced, quite fresh and fruity, with moderate alcohol and a medium mouthfeel. The mouthfeel is soft and fresh. This is a very pleasant, easy-drinking Chardonnay.

About the wine:
The nose of preserved lemon with a hint of vanilla oak is the calling card of this concentrated, beautifully proportioned Chardonnay. Lots of fresh-cut pear and a long, elegant, mineral finish. For drinking or cellaring.
