4 /5

- Der Wein duftet nach reifen gelben Früchten, Äpfeln, Limetten und Mango, ergänzt durch dezente Eichenholznoten, ist saftig und vollmundig mit frischem Finale
- Die handgelesenen Trauben kommen von verschiedenen Weinbergen auf Höhen zwischen 900 und 1.500 Metern und werden zweimal manuell selektiert
- Der Ausbau in französischem Eichenholz ist in dieser Preisklasse ganz und gar nicht an der Tagesordnung
- Allergene: enthält Sulfite

4/5

To combine with seafood from the north of Spain. I drank it with my brothers and a friend of mine.
This 2017 has a very clear golden colour. Clearly noticeable aromas of white fruits. Good acidity for my taste.

4/5

It has a strong colour considering that it is a Bodega Catena Zapata. White flowers are perceived in this Bodegas Catena Alamos Chardonnay. It is the softest wine of Mendoza.
Yummy with a sea food, as you say on this website.
I had tried Bodegas Catena Alamos Chardonnay with some wine enthusiasts.
