From the Adrianna Vineyard at 1,450 metres in Mendoza, Argentina, this 2014 Chardonnay showcases a unique 2.2-hectare parcel known as White Bones. The vineyard`s soil, rich in calcareous deposits and fossilised remains, imparts distinct mineral qualities. Fermented to 12.5% alcohol, this wine underwent maturation in French oak, with a segment influenced by flor-like yeast. The result is a profile that includes lemon oil, jasmine, and a salty minerality. The cool growing conditions of 2014 contributed to its vibrant acidity and crystalline fruit character. This offering exemplifies the Catena family’s commitment to crafting terroir-driven wines, echoing the precision found in Burgundy.
