Bodega Catena Zapata Appellation Tupungato Chardonnay 2020

We had a bottle of previous vintage, but I was too slow and didn't taste it. Hopefully 2020 will wait for me.

I am ashamed to say it, but Tupungato Chardonnay is a typical wine by Catena Zapata. Well-made, fresh, and quite sophisticated despite the odds of origin. Everything is in its place. Even the popcorn aroma does not haunt me at night. Add some spices, grass, smoke, sunflower seeds, oil, butter, and tropical notes, good balance and acidity. This is what I have in my glass, as oily as this evening. Nice.
