Chardonnay Adrianna White Stones

The Adrianna White Stones comes from one of the highest vineyards in Argentina – and you can tell that immediately in the glass: firm acidity, cool minerality, a Chardonnay that has nothing in common with the buttery heavyweights from warmer climates.

The Catena Zapata winery in Mendoza has significantly shaped high-altitude viticulture in Argentina. The Adrianna vineyard is situated at approximately 1,500 meters in Gualtallary – a high-altitude plateau with calcareous, stony soil (hence the name "White Stones") and extreme temperature variations between day and night. These conditions slow down ripening and preserve the grapes' natural acidity.

On the nose, the wine displays green ginger , white peach, and a hint of citrus peel. On the palate, a precise, almost cool minerality unfolds – chalky, slightly salty – with notes of herbs and ripe stone fruit in the background. The acidity is lively without harshness, and the finish is long and dry.
