Catena Zapata Adrianna White Bones Chardonnay 2013 (750ML)

98 JS / 97 WA

20 May, 2016 – The Montrachet of Argentina with incredible dried fruit, stones and limestone. Full body, layered and powerful. It has a phenolic backbone and velvety texture. Bright acidity. A white wine that is like a great red. Goes on for minutes. From limestone rich soils in the Gualtallary region. 2,000 bottles. James Suckling

 The superb, elegant and aromatic 2013 White Bones Chardonnay seemed to jump out of the glass with its perfumed personality. This is a selection of the more chalky soils of the Adrianna vineyard in Gualtallary. It has a spicy, nutty nose with minty freshness and a sensation of wet stones. The oak is perfectly integrated (in fact, none of the Adrianna whites showed any oak) and it has an elegant profile, a wine built around finesse and acidity. It finished with a chalky, mineral finish, definitively salty. Simply stunning! 2,100 bottles produced.
