Catena Alta Chardonnay 2002

Tupungato, Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaThe Alta Chardonnay is made with 100 per cent high altitude fruit (4,800'+) grown at the Adrianna vineyard in Tupungato. It's 100 per cent barrel fermented in French oak and while its flavourful and intense you do not feel the oak. Instead, it's the mineral floral spiced apple fruit with a whiff of brioche that grabs your attention. Bright stylish, modern vital chardonnay.
