Description

James Suckling Review
Rated 97
This is always minerally and incisive and very different from White Bones. This is more classic chardonnay, with lots of freshly squeezed lemons, wet stone, flint and seashells. Brisk acidity on a medium- to full-bodied palate. Tense and intense, but this is acid-driven with a fine touch of salinity that lingers at the end. Drink or hold.

Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard White Stones Chardonnay 2022

The 2022 White Stones Chardonnay originates from a select 27 rows within Block 1 of the Adrianna Vineyard, located at nearly 5,000 feet elevation in the Gualtallary sub-district of Tupungato, Mendoza. The vineyard's name derives from the gravel-covered soil, abundant with oval white stones, which contributes to the wine's distinctive minerality.
