Catena Alta Historic Rows Chardonnay 2024

Catena Alta is an assemblage of historic rows within the Catena family State vineyards. The blend of these historic rows, like the combination of sounds that create a symphony, gives us highly aromatic and elegant wine that speaks for the terroir and the vines that have been tended by the four generations of the Catena Family. “Alta” means high in Spanish. This makes reference to the high altitude vineyards from where the grapes are sourced, and to the high end wines that are produced with this special grapes.

Aromas of ripe peaches and pears are interwoven with delicate citrus and jasmine notes. The

palate shows rich and concentrated ripe pear, apple, and apricot flavors. The wine finishes long and complex with crisp, mineral acidity.

92pt Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Built around Adrianna Vineyard in Gualtallary and Domingo Vineyard in Villa Bastias, the 2024 Alta Chardonnay was entirely fermented in 500-liter barrels and matured for 12 months in barrel. It is an apt example of contemporary Argentine Chardonnay, combining lifted floral and herbal qualities with a green-fruited core and tasteful lees-derived accents. The mouthfeel combines textural depth with focus and tension, culminating in a bright, lifted finish.
