Cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant before serving. This is one of the southernmost Chardonnay’s in the world, harvested from parcel 22 of Otronia’s estate in the frontiers of Argentina. It is packed with aromas of peach, green apple, pear, and aromatic white flowers, such as jasmine, lily, and chamomile. It is notably fresh on the nose, reflected by the hues of green that appear as you pour it into a glass. Otronia estate is situated on parallel 45’33, in the heart of Patagonia. Its stunning range of wines are the creative output of Mendoza native Juan Pablo Murgia, a talented oenologist with more than one trophy to his name. In 2021, he was chosen by Tim Atkin, in his Argentina Special Report, as Young Winemaker of the Year. A year later, he was selected as Winemaker of the Year by Patricio Tapia of Descorchados. The Otronia Chardonnay is stunningly fresh and complex on the palate. The cold, high-altitude climate of Patagonia imparts a tense vein of acidity, elevating the fruity palate of lemon zest, white peach, apple, and pear. As it lingers in the mouth, you can also find notes of green herbs, dried thyme, and chamomile tea. The wine was aged in French oak barrels for 18 to 20 months before bottling. Consider pairing it with roast poultry, creamy pasta, or soft, pungent cheese.
