Doña Paula Los Cardos Chardonnay – Mendoza – White – 2024:

 

The High-Altitude Brilliance of Mendoza Chardonnay

The Los Cardos Chardonnay from Viña Doña Paula is a stellar example of modern, high-altitude winemaking from Argentina’s premier region. Sourced from the Uco Valley, this crisp white wine is crafted to maximize varietal purity and vibrant freshness, offering a clean, fruit-driven style that is a welcome departure from heavily oaked Chardonnays.

Tasting Notes & Profile

This wine is all about energy and expressive fruit. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve its clean, bright character, it perfectly showcases the unique minerality derived from the Andean foothills.

• Color: Bright yellow-green with luminous golden reflections.
• Nose: Intense and highly aromatic, featuring dominant notes of tropical fruit (pineapple, mango) and white peach, underlined by zesty citrus and a subtle minerality.
• Palate: Excellent volume and a lively, well-defined structure. The wine achieves a beautiful balance between ripe fruit and a refreshing, clean acidity, culminating in a crisp, persistent, and distinctly citric finish.

Pairing & Serving Tips

A versatile white that is perfect for upscale gatherings or as a premium house white. Serve chilled at 46-50°F (8-10°C) to highlight its crispness.

• Suggestion: This wine is a knockout with fresh seafood, gourmet salads, and light chicken or vegetable dishes.
