Natalie's Score: 91/100

From the Mendoza wine region, Catena Alta 2020 Chardonnay is produced from sustainably-grown grapes sourced mostly from vineyards planted in 1992 in the Gualtallary, with the balance from Uco Valley's Villa Bastías, at the foothills of the Andes, 1100 metres above sea level. Fragrant with dried pineapple, mango and coconut with ripe apple, stone fruit, lemon meringue and nutty flavours creamy and buttery on the palate. Delicious with buttered lobster rolls. Drink or hold.

Chardonnay food pairings: roast chicken, juicy pork chops from the grill, pan-fried halibut steaks in lemon butter.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
