| TASTING NOTE: From vineyards sited at 1,200 metres in the hip and happening Gualtallary sub-region of the Mendoza's Uco Valley, one third was aged in French oak. There's honey, almond and mealiness to spare in an attractive aromatic profile that is also about sweet apple fruit. On the palate it is powerfully nutty and concentrated, a big, dry and enveloping style of Chardonnay that is carefully oaked and retains plenty of biting acidity. Mouth-filling with a rolling texture, it might be an interesting wine to taste again after five years or so, to see if it has eased out just a little, allowing the fruit to come further forward.
