Description

Los vinos Angélica Zapata se obtienen a partir de uvas provenientes de viñedos plantados al pie de la montaña, a una altitud de entre 1.000 y 1.200 metros sobre el nivel del mar. Dedicamos muchos años a la búsqueda del “terroir” que permitiría lograr la máxima concentración de aromas y sabores y fuimos pioneros en precisar cuáles eran las alturas óptimas del Pedemonte mendocino para cada varietal de uvas.

Harvest: Date of harvest: 15-22 March 2004.Located in the Gualtallary district of the Tupungato region at an altitude of 5,000’ (1,500 m) above sea level. As in other areas in Mendoza, the average temperatures in this vineyard site throughout the month of February were warmer than usual. The first two weeks of March, however brought considerably cooler conditions, with average temperatures a full 1º C (1.8º F) lower than normal. These below average temperatures allowed the Chardonnay grapes to finish their ripening in excellent climatic conditions, resulting in concentrated pear and apple fruit flavors and aromas with strong mineral notes and excellent acidity. Nicolas Catena mentions that, “The 2004 vintage should bring our best Chardonnays to date, especially the Catena Alta Chardonnay which is sourced entirely from the Adrianna vineyard.”

Winery review : Tasting Notes

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

This “single vineyard” wine is a faithful expression of Mendoza ´s highest altitude microclimate. Warm, sunny days and cool nights allow the Chardonnay grapes grown at the foot of the Cordon del Plata mountain range to develop excellent balance and maturity. Angélica Zapata Chardonnay 2004 offers an intense golden color with light shades of green. The nose is rich and full-flavored, with vibrant citrus fruit and attractive minerality. On the palate, a smooth sweet entry leads to an unctuous , fresh wine, packed with ripe fruit and subtle vainilla. The finish is long and lingering, with crisp, well-balanced acidity.
