Catena Barrel Fermented Chardonnay 2006 Mendoza

A blend of grapes from three, high altitude vineyard sties, La Pirámide, Domingo and Adrianna, creating a wine of unique character that has balance, concentration and a strong varietal identity. Showing notes of mango, banana and apple, with a hint of sweet spice and wet stone. Full yet clean on the palate, with pear and fig fruit flavours rounded off with fresh, crisp acidity.

"Fermentation in oak gives this wine a lush, smooth texture and wonderful vanilla notes on the nose, without taking away the fresh apple and melon fruitiness you expect from a superb New World Chardonnay."
