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.
Den vanliga färgen, mycket gul. På näsan kan man se vita frukter. Stark smak av röda bär.
