About this product

Mineral elegance. High-altitude precision. The Andes in a glass.
Perched high in Mendoza’s Uco Valley, the White Bones parcel within the Adrianna Vineyard is named for its pale, calcium-rich soils — a rare terroir that gives this Chardonnay extraordinary clarity and tension. Here, vines endure intense sunlight, cool nights, and mountain winds, producing grapes of remarkable purity and structure. Every bottle of White Bones Chardonnay tells the story of this land: bold yet precise, mineral-driven yet expressive.

The wine is crafted with meticulous care. Grapes are hand-harvested at peak ripeness, fermented in French oak barrels with indigenous yeasts, and aged to enhance texture and complexity without overpowering the fruit. The result is a Chardonnay of elegance and finesse: layered, mineral-focused, and perfectly balanced.

On the nose, aromas of white peach, pear, citrus blossom, and chalky minerality unfold alongside subtle hints of almond and toasted oak. On the palate, it is vibrant yet creamy, with fresh acidity lifting the stone-fruit richness, a subtle spice frame, and a long, refined finish. For wine lovers in Ireland, White Bones Chardonnay offers a rare chance to savour a high-altitude, terroir-driven white of global calibre — a wine to enjoy with both casual gatherings and refined dinners.

Why we love it:
White Bones Chardonnay captures the essence of Adrianna Vineyard: extreme altitude, mineral soils, and careful, thoughtful winemaking. Its precision and elegance make it a wine that evolves beautifully in the glass, offering layers of fruit, subtle oak, and striking minerality. It’s a Chardonnay for those who appreciate nuance, clarity, and the story of place.
