Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard White Bones Vino de Parcela Chardonnay 2013

Gualtallary, Tupungato, Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaImpressive lifted, bright minerality, lemon, lemon pith and curd in White Bones, the name tipping off the strength in the lattice-like structure and the calcareous minerality throughout the soils. Incredible precision and lightness, with tingling acidity through the very lengthy, salted finish. Tight quince, green fig, Meyer lemon is tight and taught, but with a gentle generosity of Chilean UV sun. Only 100m from White Stones plot, vinified the same (fermented and aged in in 500 litre puncheons for 20-24 months), but vastly different from front to back. Argentina's finest white wine. Very age-worthy, so cellar some (and its sibling White Stones) and experience it for yourself.Tasted: 27 March 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
