Vintage 2023: 91/100 Vinous and James Suckling

“The 2023 Chardonnay Perlita hails from Campo Los Andes in the Uco Valley. It showcases an expressive style despite being from a warm vintage. Green apple and pear aromas soar, accompanied by a subtle hint of hazelnut. Dry and creamy, its elevated acidity provides a vibrant core and a lasting, refreshing finish. This is a well-crafted and affordable Chardonnay.” Joaquín Hidalgo (Vinous)

“Grapefruit, beeswax and green apples on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied, textural but vibrant and incisive, balanced by exuberant fruit and a flavorful finish. Vegan. Drink now. Screw cap.” Jacobo Garcia-Andrade Llamas (James Suckling)
