Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard White Bones Chardonnay 2022 750ml - Argentina
98+ POINTS - The Wine Advocate
The Adrianna Vineyard White Bones Chardonnay is a phenomenal wine born from one of the most extreme and revered terroirs in the world. Hailing from the Adrianna Vineyard—dubbed Catena Zapata’s "Grand Cru"—this high-altitude Chardonnay is crafted from the White Bones parcel, named for its limestone-rich, fossil-filled soils left behind by an ancient river. These unique soils imbue the wine with extraordinary minerality and tension, a hallmark of this remarkable site at nearly 5,000 feet above sea level.
This is world-class Chardonnay, showing aromas of white peach, lemon blossom, and flint, alongside subtle hints of chamomile and spice. The palate is electric, combining zesty citrus and green apple with a saline, mineral-driven edge that’s supported by vibrant acidity. Aged on its lees in French oak, the wine’s texture is luxurious without overshadowing its refreshing energy and precision.
In short, it’s a masterpiece that ranks among the world’s elite. Crafted from one of the most extreme and breathtaking viticultural sites on the planet, the Adrianna Vineyard’s White Bones parcel is a wine of unparalleled precision, complexity, and depth. It's a true benchmark for high-altitude winemaking, standing shoulder to shoulder with the finest white wines in the world.
