Altaland – Chardonnay 2023
Mendoza – Argentina 🇦🇷
Overview
A Chardonnay dedicated to showcasing Argentina’s diverse viticultural landscapes, crafted under the Catena Family vineyards. Grapes are sourced from high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza, planted above 3,000 feet in the foothills of the Andes—bringing cooler nights and warm days that help develop concentration, freshness, and complexity.
Aromas & Flavors
Enticing aromas of baked pear, ripe lemon, and white flowers. On the palate, stony fruit flavors meet lemon pie notes, accented by a touch of toast and spice.
Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with vibrant acidity, layered with creamy texture, a hint of salinity, and a lingering, balanced finish.
Food Pairings
Perfect with roast chicken, grilled trout, or creamy pasta dishes.
Verdict
A refined expression of Mendoza Chardonnay—fresh yet toasty, fruit-forward yet mineral, a harmonious balance of high-altitude vibrancy and oak influence. Cheers!
