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.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
