D.V. Catena Chardonnay-Chardonnay 2024

Description DV Catena Chardonnay Chardonnay 2024 reflects the distinctive characteristics of the regions from which it originates. With sunny, warm days and cool nights, the Chardonnay grapes reach full and well-balanced ripeness. The wine shows an intense yellow color with light greenish highlights. Highly complex and elegant, the nose is concentrated and expressive: the La Pirámide vineyard contributes aromas of ripe tropical fruits such as pineapple and white peach, while the Domingo vineyard adds citrus and mineral notes. On the palate, it delivers a sweet, creamy impact, with flavors of ripe fruit and very good acidity that provides a fresh, long-lasting finish.
