2022 Chacra, Chardonnay, Patagonia, Argentina
Description
This is a delightfully energetic wine, with an enticing bouquet of white peach, nectarine and orange peel. The palate is incredibly pure, with complex layers of citrus and stone fruit alongside a wonderful saline mineral intensity and sparkling freshness, leading onto an incredibly persistent and satisfying finish.

Critics reviews
This is probably the finest answer to Puligny or Meursault in Argentina and it will be hard to pass by. Beautiful brioche notes give a fine creaminess with mineral, fine reduction, beeswax and a hint of white sesame to the lemon curd. Extremely textured and tense on the palate with fresh, medium acidity and a long, long finish. This is all about texture and purity. Also intellectual. Drink or hold. From biodynamically grown grapes.
