Expert Opinion

In the press...

Of the 2011 vintage, Jamie Goode said: "Made by leading Argentine producer Catena, this is deliciously rich and broad with toast and hazelnut flavours, some textured fruitiness and also warming spicy notes."

This review is for the 2011 vintage

One of my favourite chardonnay wines, has mild oaky taste with lots of flavour and is easily 'slurped'. I usually buy when it is on offer, but when my stocks are low I am prepared to pay the full price. Some of the more expensive wines don't come up to this Argentina. Excellent.

A Bit of Oak

A lovely oaky chardonnay - prefer it when on offer but when you feel the need for that taste of chardonnay and oak (not as much as a few years ago) I happily pay for it.

A Decent Swilling Wine

A medium bodied slightly oaky chardonnay that goes down well with an informal fish meal.
