Catena 2020 Chardonnay is a bright, expressive Chard, full-bodied with ripe pear, citrus zest and toasted oak spice flavours on the palate.

The 2020 Chardonnay Catena is 90% from the Uco Valley, fermented with whole bunches and aged for up to eight months in barrels. Yellow with a golden sheen. The expressive nose presents notes of linden blossom, apple, creamed corn and hazelnuts. In the mouth, it’s unctuous and indulgent but also has decent tension, a terse texture and long-lasting, bold flavors. The oak reappears on the rather concentrated aftertaste.

This is the second of four levels of Chardonnay quality at Catena and it’s a very appealing blend of grapes from the Uco Valley and Agrelo. Aged in one-third new oak, with partial malolactic, it’s soft and creamy with toffee and honey flavours, some stone fruit sweetness and enough acidity to freshen and lift the finish.
