Adrianna Vineyard "White Stones" Chardonnay

Crisp. Mineral-driven. High-altitude elegance captured in a glass.
High in Mendoza’s Uco Valley, within the renowned Adrianna Vineyard, lies the White Stones parcel — a vineyard site distinguished by its pale, quartz-laden soils and cool, windswept days. Here, vines struggle against altitude and sun, concentrating their energy into grapes of extraordinary purity and tension. The result is White Stones Chardonnay, a wine that embodies both the power and grace of the Andes.

Crafted with meticulous care, the grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in French oak barrels, using indigenous yeasts to preserve the vineyard’s natural expression. Aging adds subtle texture and complexity while maintaining the wine’s vibrancy and mineral-driven character. Every bottle is a reflection of place, altitude, and the Catena family’s unwavering attention to terroir.

On the nose, White Stones Chardonnay reveals aromas of white peach, green apple, citrus blossom, and wet stone, with delicate hints of almond and lightly toasted oak. The palate is vibrant yet creamy, showcasing stone-fruit richness, lively acidity, and a distinctive mineral backbone that carries through to a long, refined finish. For wine lovers in Ireland, it’s a Chardonnay that pairs beautifully with both relaxed meals and elegant dining experiences, bringing a touch of Mendoza’s high-altitude magic to the table.

Why we love it:
White Stones Chardonnay is a masterclass in precision and finesse. Its structure, mineral clarity, and layered fruit make it an elegant, expressive white wine — a perfect example of Catena Zapata’s philosophy: the vineyard speaks first, and the winemaking guides its voice without overshadowing it. It’s a Chardonnay that rewards patience, reflection, and celebration.
