Catena Mendoza Chardonnay 2022

Vinous - Joaquin Hidalgo : 91 Points

(7/2023) The 2022 Chardonnay is made with grapes from the Uco Valley and Lujan de Cuyo. Fifty percent of the wine was aged 6-8 months in up to third-use French oak barrels. Yellow with a golden sheen. The nose presents aromas of dill, creamed corn, and pear with hazel- and other nutty notes against a faint oaky backdrop. The palate is indulgent and broad, with a creamy texture and refreshing expression before the lingering nutty finish. Drinking Window: 2023 - 2027.
