Catena Vineyard Argentine Chardonnay – Tupungato 750ml

Discover the vibrant essence of Argentina’s high-altitude terroir with Catena Appellation Tupungato Chardonnay—a refined white wine that embodies the crisp elegance of Mendoza’s iconic wine region. Crafted from grapes grown in Tupungato’s mineral-rich soils at 3,500 feet above sea level, this Chardonnay offers a harmonious blend of bright citrus freshness and subtle earthy complexity.

The first sip reveals an intoxicating bouquet of Meyer lemon zest and ripe nectarine, complemented by whispers of toasted almond and saline minerality—a hallmark of Tupungato’s unique microclimate. On the palate, this wine strikes a perfect balance between lush fruitiness (think sun-ripened peaches) and zesty acidity, while its velvety texture invites lingering sips. Unlike many New World Chardonnays that lean overly oaky or buttery, this bottling celebrates Argentina’s commitment to precision winemaking, delivering a wine that’s both approachable yet cellar-worthy.

Whether you’re pairing it with seared scallops or enjoying it as an apéritif on a warm evening, Catena Appellation Tupungato Chardonnay stands out as a sophisticated choice for connoisseurs seeking an Argentine white wine with depth and character. Its seamless integration of tropical fruit vibrancy and stony mineral backbone makes it a standout among premium Chardonnays from South America—perfect for those who appreciate wines that tell a story of place while offering exceptional drinking pleasure.
