is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
From the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza, Catena’s Classic Chardonnay is a wine that perfectly blends freshness with a touch of elegance. Sourced from the High Mountain Vines, this 2023 vintage highlights the potential of Chardonnay grown at such elevated, cool climates, where the fruit retains both its natural acidity and crispness.
The nose is bright and inviting, with citrus notes of lemon and lime, mingling with green apple and hints of tropical fruit. A soft touch of oak adds layers of complexity, bringing in gentle vanilla and a whisper of toasted almonds. On the palate, the wine is crisp and refreshing, with a lively acidity that keeps the fruit vibrant and balanced. A mineral quality runs through the wine, giving it focus and a clean, structured finish that lingers with just the right amount of citrus zest.
Perfect with seafood, grilled chicken, or a creamy pasta dish, Catena Classic Chardonnay 2023 is versatile and lively, offering a refreshing alternative to more oak-heavy Chardonnays. It’s a wine that can be enjoyed now or over the next few years, continuing to evolve as it ages.
