The 2022 Bodega Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard White Stones Chardonnay Magnum (1500ml) is a remarkable high-altitude Chardonnay from the renowned Adrianna Vineyard in Gualtallary, Mendoza. Sourced from a parcel known for its stone-rich, limestone soils, this wine captures the precision, freshness and mineral character that have made the vineyard one of South America’s most acclaimed Chardonnay sites.
The nose is vibrant and layered, revealing aromas of citrus blossom, white peach, lemon curd and green apple, complemented by notes of crushed stone and subtle oak spice. On the palate, it is concentrated yet finely balanced, with bright acidity, a textured mouthfeel and impressive mineral drive. The finish is long, focused and exceptionally pure, showcasing both power and elegance.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Chardonnay for collectors and lovers of world-class cool-climate styles. The magnum format offers excellent cellaring potential and is ideal for special occasions or larger gatherings. Enjoy with grilled lobster, roasted chicken, fresh seafood or creamy mushroom dishes. Best enjoyed from now or cellared over the next 10–15 years for added complexity.
