This Chardonnay is deeply aromatic with expressive citrus fruit aromas and rich mineral notes.
James Suckling - 93 Points: ""This has very attractive aromas of ripe peaches with hints of lemons and grapefruit and a flinty edge. The palate has a thread of gently toasted hazelnuts through fresh lemons and peaches. So fresh and fleshy with lots of fruit on offer. Drink now."
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 92 Points: "The lively 2019 Appellation Tupungato Chardonnay shows the freshness of 2019, a very healthy harvest of grapes with good ripeness and full flavor and aroma development. It's fresh but with good density and a round mouthfeel while finishing fresh and with pungent flavors. It's varietal and approachable. 204,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in October 2019 after nine months in barrel. It should develop nicely in bottle."
Vinous - 91 Points: "Alejandro Vigil blended grapes from different high-altitude vineyards in the Tupungato appellation and fermented the 2019 Chardonnay Catena Appellation Tupungato using natural yeast as part of a crisp, clean approach. The nose features pears, lemon zest and a hint of yeast along with oak notes and white flowers. Tight but velvety, it has a lean, fleshy complexion in the mouth followed by a bold, crystal clear aftertaste.."
