Located in Mendoza, at the foot of the Andes in Argentina, the Catena winery has been producing some of the best wines in the world for four generations.
The Chardonnay grapes for the White Bones come from the Adrianna vineyard, located at almost 5,000 feet above sea level. The name of the wine refers to the calcareous deposits and fossil animals found in the soil layers of the vineyard. The particular composition and conformation of the soil, the intensity of sunlight, the altitude, and the cool climate favor the production of grapes characterized by excellent minerality and good aromatic intensity.
The White Bones is aged for 12-16 months in used French oak barrels. It is a very fine white wine, capable of aging and developing with extreme elegance. The nose shows great complexity, with citrus and herbaceous hints and a slight chalkiness. In the mouth, it is round and harmonious with a marked minerality that gives it character and complements the lightly toasted notes and the long herbaceous finish. Try it now with white meat, grilled fish, shellfish, and seafood, or let it rest in the cellar for at least a decade.
