Description
"This "single vineyard" wine is a faithful expression of Mendoza's highest altitude microclimate. Warm, sunny days and cool nights allow the chardonnay grapes grown at the foot of the Cordón del Plata mountain range to achieve excellent balance and maturity. Angélica Zapata Chardonnay Alta offers an intense golden colour with light shades of green. The nose is rich and full-flavored, with vibrant citrus fruit and attractive minerality. On the palate, a smooth sweet entry leads to an unctuous, fresh wine, packed with ripe fruit and subtle vanilla. The finish is long and lingering, with crisp, well-balanced acidity." - Winemaker Notes
"Wow, what a beauty. Tropical on the nose but it's held back, not overly flamboyant, unfolding onto creamed peaches and lemon meringue. There's opulence and a rich and leesy intensity, buttery but with fresh acidity. The finish is laced with vanilla and beurre blanc, honeycomb and caramelised nuts." - 93 Points, Natalie Earl, Decanter
