Description

DV Catena Chardonnay Chardonnay reflects the distinctive characteristics of the regions from which it originates. With sunny, warm days and cool nights, the Chardonnay grapes reach full and well-balanced ripeness. The wine shows an intense yellow color with light greenish highlights. Highly complex and elegant, the nose is concentrated and expressive: the La Pirámide vineyard contributes aromas of ripe tropical fruits such as pineapple and white peach, while the Domingo vineyard adds citrus and mineral notes. On the palate, it delivers a sweet, creamy impact, with flavors of ripe fruit and very good acidity that provides a fresh, long-lasting finish.
