"Enjoy a Chardonnay typical of the heights of the Andes Mountains—fresh acidity and a creamy, succulent palate. Pure, fresh, and long—according to James Suckling!"

"The Catena Chardonnay 2021 is vibrant and harmonious, with great balance and freshness, varietal with elegant and shy aromas of white flowers and a long dry finish with purity of flavors, imperceptible oak and very good overall balance." (The Wine Advocate 2022)
