More about the WineryReviews of Catena Alta Chardonnay 2011
A Chardonnay with a very dense colour. The Catena Alta Chardonnay shows exotic floral hints of jasmine. This 2016 is quite like the previous vintage.
We drank it with a spicy rice.
Better decant this Catena Alta Chardonnay Mendoza from 2014, it tastes better.
Good colour. Clearly noticeable aromas of white fruits. The wine was ok.
