Mainque 2022 Chardonnay, Patagonia, Argentina

Done in collaboration with Jean-Marc Roulot, was picked early as the grapes ripened early but maintained acidity. Fermented in barrel without malolactic, spending 11 months in barrique, this has an up-front fruit, a salinity shared with Chacra Chardonnay, and a tasty finish lent by the calcareous components of the alluvial soil.

100% Chardonnay

46% in french oak barrels (9% new), 18% in concrete
