Catena Zapata Chardonnay

Fresh, approachable, and elegantly expressive.
From the sun-kissed vineyards of Mendoza, Catena Zapata’s Chardonnay offers a pure, approachable expression of Argentina’s high-altitude whites. Crafted with care from carefully selected plots, this wine balances freshness, fruit intensity, and subtle complexity, making it perfect for everyday enjoyment or casual gatherings.

Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with a small proportion aged in French oak, the wine preserves the natural vibrancy of the fruit while gaining a touch of texture and depth. The result is a Chardonnay that is lively, crisp, and inviting, reflecting the precision and care that Catena Zapata brings to every bottle.

On the nose, aromas of green apple, pear, citrus blossom, and a hint of almond emerge, while the palate reveals crisp stone-fruit flavours, gentle mineral notes, and a clean, refreshing finish. For wine lovers in Ireland, this Chardonnay is versatile, easy to enjoy, and a delightful introduction to the quality and character of Mendoza’s whites.

Why we love it:
This Chardonnay exemplifies balance and accessibility without sacrificing elegance. Fresh, bright, and food-friendly, it’s a wine that suits everyday dining while still offering layers of flavour to explore.
