Catena Alta Chardonnay

At almost 5,000 feet elevation in the Andean foothills, the Adrianna vineyard's pebble covered soils and cool climate are ideal for growing Chardonnay. The fruit from the Adrianna vineyard has a purity of flavors and a minerality that is particular to this vineyard and can not be found anywhere else in Mendoza.

Catena Alta Chardonnay is made from a special lot of the Adrianna vineyard. This wine undergoes a demanding selection process in both the vineyard and the winery.

Saint Clair Omaka Reserve Chardonnay
With its pale golden color and intense and complex aromas of white peach and honeysuckle, the Saint Clair Omaka Reserve Chardonnay impresses. There are also hints of savory bacon and rounding oak notes.Taste: A wonderfully full-bodied and rich white wine with complex stone fruit aromas and a hint of spice. Underlying savory oak notes and subtle yeasty characters add to the complexity. On the palate, it is elegant and full with firm acidity and a long finish.Aging potential:Perfect for immediate enjoyment. This Chardonnay can age wonderfully with careful storage in the bottle and is still perfectly drinkable four years after bottling.Winemaking: The grapes were carefully hand-picked and pressed whole to ensure that all the defining terroir characteristics and fruit flavors were retained. The wine was fermented in 100 percent American oak (50 percent in new oak barrels, 25 percent in second-fill barrels and 25 percent in third-fill barrels). Selected yeast strains were used for fermentation. The wine then underwent malolactic fermentation and matured on the lees for ten months with regular pumping over. Only the best barrels from each batch were selected to make the final blend.Perfect with salmon, strong cream sauces or roast chicken.

Napa Cellars Chardonnay
This high-quality Cellars Chardonnay from the Napa Valley smells of vanilla, caramel, honeydew melon and nuances of freshly baked apple pie. On the palate, this white wine from coastal vineyards is very smooth, with a balanced acidity and a rather creamy finish. The interplay of aromas is reminiscent of marshmallows roasting over a campfire. The Napa Cellars Chardonnay comes from sites that are ideal for the Chardonnay grape, such as the southern Napa Valley and Carneros.The fog and cooling winds from San Francisco and Marin Bay allow the grapes to ripen longer and develop their special depth of aroma and crisp acidity. This white wine matured for eight months in oak, with more than 90 percent French barrels being used (almost a quarter new barrels).Try the Napa Cellars Chardonnay with French soft cheese with honey or panna cotta with fresh berries. A real taste experience from California.
