Winemaker Notes
Extraordinary honey and tropical fruit flavors alongside notes of citrus, pears, peaches, and white flowers with a strong minerality and a delicate note of vanilla. The mouthfeel is clean, with a fresh acidity.
Professional Ratings
95James Suckling
This opens with aromas of dried apricots and salted lemons, lifted by a floral note of chamomile. The palate is medium to full-bodied with tension, subtle salinity and pleasant fleshiness. A blend of fruit from the Adrianna and Domingo vineyards, this is a deeply comforting chardonnay combining a generous texture with incisiveness.
93Vinous
The 2023 Chardonnay Catena Alta Historic Rows was sourced from Villa Bastías and Gualtallary in Tupungato. Aged for up to 14 months in new and used French oak barrels, this bright yellow wine offers notes of pear and mint, complemented by subtle oak nuances. Dry, creamy and broad, the oak plays a significant role on the palate. However, it remains refreshing, with a long-lasting hazelnut finish. This is a classic continental-style wine.
92Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2023 Alta Chardonnay is primarily composed of grapes from Gualtallary's Adrianna Vineyard, supplemented with additions from the Domingo Vineyard in Villa Bastias. This vintage includes some botrytized fruit, contributing to its exotic, ginger-inflected nose accented by an elegantly creamy backdrop. The palate is seamless and supple, combining a honeyed richness with stony clarity that runs through the focused finish.
