The 2021 Chardonnay hails from Gualtallary, Uco Valley. It was aged up to 12 months in used 500L French oak barrels with a little flor. Yellow with a golden sheen. The nose presents enticing dried fruit and chamomile aromas with hazel and other nutty notes against an oaky backdrop. The palate has a lean, dry character, with a broad, vibrant mouthfeel establishing a surprising balance between the dry texture and nimble flow. A stylishly distinctive mountain Chardonnay.

The wine's inviting aromas of dried fruit and apples introduce a tasty palate. It has layers of lime, linden leaves and chamomile tea. Balancing acidity is enough to support the flavors and extend them through the finish. This pairs perfectly well with a butternut squash and pecan salad.
