Brilliant value for money, this fresh, elegant unoaked Chardonnay comes from high-altitude vines in Los Arboles in the central Uco Valley. Poised citrus and stone fruit aromas. Rounded silkiness in the mouth (thanks to time on lees) gives way to a vibrant jolt of high altitude acidity, with mineral freshness on the bone dry finish and layers of crisp yellow citrus. Super!
