P15

2012 Patagonia Chardonnay

The Neuquen P15 is a captivating Chardonnay from the picturesque Patagonia region, showcasing the artistry of winemaking in this unique area. With its beautiful golden hue, this wine entices the senses, presenting an invigorating bouquet of citrus and stone fruit aromas. On the palate, it exhibits a vibrant acidity that gracefully balances the medium body, leading to a refreshing mouthfeel that lingers delightfully. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering layers of juicy pear and zesty lemon, complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and toasted oak from its careful aging. This wine is crafted in a dry style, making it wonderfully versatile for food pairings, such as seafood or creamy pasta dishes. Neuquen P15 is a testament to Patagonia's ability to produce exceptional white wines that are both elegant and flavorful.

Region:


Patagonia

The southernmost tip of Argentina is perfecto for growing cool-climate grapes. Patagonia's altitude, arid conditions and Antarctic influence result in wines with uniquely intense color and flavor. Pinot Noir is the standout variety, creating vibrant wines with glorious red fruit characters. Argentina's ever-reliable Malbec is a stalwart here, too, channeling the long, slow ripening season into gloriously bold yet elegant wines. But it was the early European-style Rieslings and Cabernet Sauvignons from the Rio Negro and Neuquen area in the north that initially put Patagonia on the wine map. These unspoiled valleys with their mineral-rich rivers produce wines as distinctive as the unique terroir that creates them.
