Tasting Notes
Before the chardonnays from blocks appeared, this Alta was Catena's top white. And it's still a chardonnay that's impressive in its size and complexity. The fruity flavors blend with the mineral tones of the limestone-rich soils where it comes from, and the texture is taut but deliciously creamy. It's a contradiction, but it works perfectly here. The flavors are long and deep with a sensation of voluptuous ripeness. 80% of this Alta comes from vineyards planted in Gualtallary in 1992, and the rest is from Villa Bast�as, both in the Uco Valley, more than 1,100 meters high, at the foot of the Andes. Score - 94. (Patricio Tapia, guiadescorchados.cl, 2021)
