Description

James Suckling Review
Rated 97
This is always minerally and incisive and very different from White Bones. This is more classic chardonnay, with lots of freshly squeezed lemons, wet stone, flint and seashells. Brisk acidity on a medium- to full-bodied palate. Tense and intense, but this is acid-driven with a fine touch of salinity that lingers at the end. Drink or hold.

Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard White Stones Chardonnay 2022

The 2022 White Stones Chardonnay originates from a select 27 rows within Block 1 of the Adrianna Vineyard, located at nearly 5,000 feet elevation in the Gualtallary sub-district of Tupungato, Mendoza. The vineyard's name derives from the gravel-covered soil, abundant with oval white stones, which contributes to the wine's distinctive minerality.

How To Serve

Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
