Region: Patagonia
Country: Argentina
I wasn't aware there was commercial wine production in Patagonia, since all argentinian wine seems to come from Mendoza. But here it is, a bodega from Patagonia with an impressive number of brands and varietals (including some sparkling wines).
This is one of their chardonnays, a departure from the heavier, creamier style usually associated with the new world whites. The aromas are fresh, showing sweet pineapples and some citrus impressions towards the back.
The mouth feels structured enough, but it is a fruit driven wine (pineapple again). Although there are some hints of the oak that was used to age 40% of this wine, it is really fresh and shows some great acidity - because the vines are so much to the south, maybe?
Good enough to make me hunt some others. The Pinot Noir might be interesting.
