I have always been a fan of the wines from this domain. Now at age 15/16 this wine stands firm! Everything comes together with a nose of red fruit, licorice, leathersoap. The mouthfeeling is silky, cherries you know these big black ones, subtle acidity making you want to drink more but no need as the finish takes you over the minute. Fantastic wine! — a month ago

Catena Zapata Chardonnay White Stones 2021
Vignoble: Catena Zapata

Appellation: Mendoza, Argentine

Millésime: 2021

Cépage: Chardonnay

Prix: Élevé - Positionnement premium sur le marché
Apparence
Robe claire et brillante, reflets dorés.
Nez
Premier nez marqué par des notes d'agrumes dominées par le citron. Une touche animale fugace est perceptible à l'ouverture mais se dissipe rapidement avec l'aération. Évolution vers des arômes de jubube (confiserie de fruits) apportant une dimension plus douce et exotique.
Bouche
Attaque vive caractérisée par une acidité prononcée, typique des chardonnays d'altitude. Notes de citron bien présentes, cohérentes avec le nez. La texture est précise et ciselée. Finale longue et persistante, laissant une impression de fraîcheur minérale.
Accord
Dégusté en comparaison avec le White Bones de la même maison, offrant une perspective intéressante sur les différentes expressions du terroir Catena Zapata. Partagé avec Boul.
Évaluation
91/100 points
Un chardonnay de caractère qui exprime admirablement la minéralité et la fraîcheur des vignobles d'altitude de Mendoza. L'acidité remarquable lui confère un excellent potentiel de garde. Son prix élevé le positionne dans le segment haut de gamme, reflétant l'ambition et le prestige de la maison Catena Zapata. — 3 months ago

Always a treat to drink Cappellano’s Chinato. Loads of mint and herbs. It’s like a tart and tannic amaro. — 2 months ago

Bright, effervescent red. Starts off kind of tasting like wet socks and then smooths and rounds out to dried apricot, green apple, and cinnamon, with a tart finish. Definitely something to worth chillingl! — 2 months ago

Cannot go wrong with 2018 vintage on most central Tuscan wines and this isn’t an exception. A nice, inexpensive, appealing and approachable Sangiovese driven with a gentle tannins, bright orange acidity, juicy cranberry, ripe red cherries and spice and subtle touch of oak. A perfect pizza companion wine for a casual drinking! — 3 months ago

2019 vintage. A bit richer than expected. Slightly less grip than anticipated. This is a great wine “cheat code” for Spain and Rioja. Showing nicely now. 11.20.24. — 7 months ago
