The Catena White Bones Chardonnay 2010 is a mature white wine sourced from the Adrianna Vineyard in Gualtallary, situated at 1,450 metres in the Uco Valley of Mendoza. This single-parcel wine is named for the vineyard`s sandy, calcareous soils, which influence its minerality and salinity. Its pale gold hue leads into an intricate aromatic profile featuring fresh yellow apples, lemon zest and a distinct herbal character. The palate displays high acidity and a precise structure, concluding with a taut finish. Available here in magnum.
95 Vinous
Full yellow with gold highlights. Utterly distinctive aromas of orange zest, brown spices and crushed rock are lifted by ineffable, almost riesling-like high notes of spearmint and citrus peel. Began musky and reduced but opened slowly with air to show a chewy, tactile texture to the fascinating, powerfully mineral flavors of citrus peel, mint, nutmeg and earth. A great expression of terroir, this superb, extremely long chardonnay's thickness and saline character is leavened by vibrant, dusty minerality. This was even more perfumed and captivating when I drained the bottle three nights later. One of the most compelling and singular chardonnays I've tasted from outside Burgundy in the last year.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2014

Pioneers of Fine Winemaking in Argentina

Over more than a century, the Catenas have evolved into the pre-eminent winemaking family in Argentina. The family’s history in wine goes back to 1902 when Nicola Catena purchased his first Mendoza vineyard. Much more recently, in 1997, his grandson, Nicolás Zapata pioneered the idea of fine wine from Argentina. Inspired by Bordeaux and Napa, he was the first person to ally Old World winemaking sensibilities to the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza.

Bodega Catena Zapata is now managed by (Dr) Laura Catena, who continues to uphold the the family’s standard of excellence, harnessing the high-altitude terroir of the Andes through precision viticulture and a highly granular cellar regime to produce one of the finest wine portfolios in Argentina.

The flagship wine of the Catena portfolio is the Nicolás Catena Zapata cuvée in which ungrafted Malbec is blended with Cabernet Sauvignon from ‘grand cru’ multiple plots, all processed via 200 micro-vinifications which are then blended together and matured for 24 months in French oak, with a further two years in bottle before release.
