2023 Bodegas Chacra, Chardonnay

The 2023 Bodega Chacra Chardonnay is a remarkable collaboration between Piero Incisa della Rocchetta and Burgundy's Jean-Marc Roulot, showcasing the potential of Patagonia's Río Negro Valley. Sourced from 40-year-old vines rooted in alluvial soils rich in limestone, the wine undergoes fermentation with native yeasts and is aged in a combination of concrete eggs, stainless steel, and French oak barrels, resulting in a textured, mineral-driven profile. Expect vibrant notes of citrus, apple, and a distinctive salinity, culminating in a wine that elegantly bridges New World freshness with Old World complexity.
