Patagonia Select

2008 Patagonia Chardonnay

The Saurus Patagonia Select is a captivating expression of Chardonnay hailing from the breathtaking region of Patagonia. This vintage showcases a radiant pale straw color, hinting at its delicate nature. On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of fresh green apple, citrus zest, and subtle notes of pear complemented by a whisper of minerality that reflects the region's unique terroir. The palate is delightfully balanced, with refreshing acidity that brings brightness to each sip, while the fruit intensity is prominent, delivering layers of vibrant flavors. With its medium body, this Chardonnay offers a smooth texture that glides effortlessly, accompanied by a gentle dryness that makes it incredibly food-friendly. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with seafood, it is a versatile wine that showcases the true essence of Patagonia.

Winemaking in Argentina is all about altitude. Many of its most prominent vineyards are situated at elevations exceeding 2,000 feet, where the cool nights help grapes retain zingy acidity while reaching full juicy ripeness. Probably best known for its flagship red grape Malbec, Argentina has become a South American enological powerhouse. The rich dark fruit flavor and smooth chocolate finish have made Malbec a global favorite. Along with its bold reds, Argentina is also known for aromatic white wines such as the peachy, floral Torrontés. International favorites like Chardonnay, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon also grow well in Argentina's high, dry soil.
