2023 Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard 'White Bones' Chardonnay Gualtallary, Argentina
The 'White Bones' parcel is a small 2.2-hectare section within the Adrianna Vineyard, perched at 4,757 feet in Gualtallary. The name comes from the soil—a unique composition of calcareous deposits, limestone, and fossilized animal bones from an ancient riverbed. This extreme high-altitude site, combined with biological aging under a 'veil of flor' (like fine Sherry), creates a wine with supernatural tension and aromatic complexity that mimics the greatest Grand Cru Chablis.
