Bodega Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard White Bones Chardonnay is an Argentinean wine par excellence. Carrying a sophisticated balance between its aromatic profile of lush citrus, fresh green apple and white flowers, it's accentuated by delicate notes of mineral and flint. Its palate is finely structured, with remarkable freshness and a refined, lengthy finish exhibiting toasty undertones. This Chardonnay, grown in the high altitude Adrianna Vineyard, christened 'White Bones', due to the composition of limestone and fossilised animal bones in the soil, results in a vibrant and nuanced wine that reflects its unique terroir. It's an exquisite and complex white wine.

About the Winery
