Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard White Stones Vino de Parcela Chardonnay 2013
Gualtallary, Tupungato, Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaLovely underpinning of stony minerality is fleshed out with cream, juicy green apple and a driving, fine citrus line. From stony soils, some calcareous. There's a leesy quince to the medium/full cushioned palate, and an appealing herbal scrubby mint note (Fernet-like) that lingers on the lengthy finish. Fermented in barrel and then into 500L puncheons for 20-24 months. This is only 100m from the White Bones block, but so different. Very age worthy.Tasted: 27 March 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $90.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
