The base of this chardonnay (at least 80%) comes from the Adrianna Vineyard, and the red is from the Domingo Vineyard in Villa Bastìas, also high up in the Uco Valley. This vineyard also provides the grapes for White Stones and White Bones, Catena’s top chardonnays. In a very cold vintage like 2016 (the coldest since the 1950’s, according to official records), this wine is especially nervy, juicy-fresh, and sharp, but it still has this wine’s classic creamy character.
