Product Notes

Bodega Catena Zapata's Catena Appellation Tupungato Chardonnay is an elegant Argentinean wine that emanates from high-altitude vineyards in the Tupungato region. This wine's full-bodied character is accentuated by refined tropical fruit flavours, underscored by subtle notes of vanilla and toasted oak. The delicate balance of acidity makes it highly appealing to the palate. It is beautifully structured with a rich, buttery texture, and a remarkably lingering finish. Excellent to enjoy on its own, the wine also pairs well with seafood and creamy dishes. This Chardonnay embodies Bodega Catena Zapata's dedication to producing noteworthy Argentinean wines.
