Avaliação dos peritos
A hint of flint and gunpowder with waxed lemon, oyster shell, mango and salted green apples. Quite a textured, saline expression of chardonnay with tangy flavors and a mineral drive. Full-bodied and reductive with phenolic support. Savory, saline and mouthwatering finish. Love the austerity here. Drink or hold.
The 2021 Chardonnay was phenomenal, way above the expectations for the price point. It was produced with pristine grapes from Gualtallary that in the cool 2021 vintage achieved 13.5% alcohol but kept a low pH of 3.05 and 7.7 grams of acidity. It matured in oak barrels that were not topped up and let to develop a veil of flor yeast. The barrels were 500-liter ones, and despite 35% of them being new, the wine doesn't feel marked by the wood. It has the chalky texture of the limestone soils. Superb! This is a bargain that is approachable now, but it should also develop nicely in bottle. 19,600 bottles produced.
En septiembre de 2009 Alejandro Vigil y Adrianna Catena se encontraron en la embajada argentina de Londres, donde Nicolás Catena recibió el galardón Decanter Man of the Year.

Para mi, uno de los mejores blancos que he catado. Amplio, glicerico, marcado acento cítrico, persistente...
Sorprendentemente bueno, me ha gustado más que los tintos de esta bodega, al menos comparativamente con los blancos y tintos de aquí
Meloso, sedoso, una delicia, nada que ver con las Chardonnays del viejo mundo, muy recomendable
