For over four generations, the Catena family has grown vines in the foothills of the Andes Mountains in Mendoza, Argentina. In his pursuit to make wines that stand with the best in the world, Nicolás Catena identified the best lots and rows, in the Catena family’s estate vineyards. Bodega Catena Zapata White Bones Chardonnay 2012 is a single-vineyard Chardonnay white wine from the Gualtallary district in the Uco Valley of Mendoza, Argentina. The Chardonnay grapes for this wine are sourced from selected rows within Block 1 of Catena Zapata`s ‘Grand Cru’ Adrianna vineyard which is elevated at almost 1,500 meters above sea level. The name ‘White Bone’ refers to the calcareous soils with remnants of fossilised animal bones within this high-elevation vineyard. This wine was matured for 12-16 months in second, third and fourth-use French oak barrels. Resulting in a fine Chardonnay, balancing flinty mineral and floral notes from the famed vineyard with the subtle roundness of oak.
