Catena Chardonnay 1997

Mendoza, ArgentinaThe fruit comes from Tikal Vineyards in the Agrelo District. Big, sweet, fruit nose of citrus and mandarin. Very flavourful concentrated fruit. Impressive in the mouth and not too alcoholic. 100 per cent barrel fermented with fine sur lie flavours. It spends nine months in French oak giving it a wonderful toasted vanilla sheen.
