Argentina's wine industry has evolved significantly since its early beginnings with Spanish missionaries. The Catena Zapata family has played a vital role in modernizing Argentine winemaking, particularly in the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza. Chardonnay, while not originally from Argentina, has found a thriving environment there, adapting to the unique terroir and climate.
Recurso Premium
Wine, and specifically Chardonnay, is often enjoyed during meals and celebrations throughout Argentina. It represents a blend of European winemaking traditions with the unique characteristics of the Argentine landscape.
Asado Pairing
While Malbec is the classic pairing for Asado (Argentine barbecue), a well-structured Chardonnay can complement grilled chicken or pork dishes, providing a refreshing contrast to the smoky flavors.
Social Gatherings
Chardonnay is frequently enjoyed during social gatherings, often served chilled as an aperitif or alongside lighter appetizers and salads. It's considered a versatile wine suitable for various occasions.
Wine Tourism
Mendoza is a major wine tourism destination, attracting visitors from around the world who come to experience the vineyards and wineries. Wineries often offer tastings of their Chardonnays alongside other varietals, showcasing the region's winemaking prowess.
Recurso Premium
This Chardonnay offers a blend of fruit and oak characteristics, typical of Mendoza wines, with a crisp acidity that balances the richness.
Expect aromas and flavors of ripe golden apple, pear, and citrus notes like lemon and grapefruit. The oak aging contributes vanilla and toasted bread notes, adding complexity and depth. The wine has a medium body and a lingering finish, leaving a pleasant, slightly creamy sensation on the palate. Minerality is also often present due to the unique soil composition of the Mendoza region.

Serving Temperature
Serve chilled, ideally between 50-55°F (10-13°C). This temperature allows the aromas and flavors to fully express themselves.
Food Pairing
Excellent with seafood dishes like grilled shrimp or scallops. Also pairs well with creamy pasta dishes, roasted chicken, and soft cheeses like brie or camembert.
Glassware
Use a standard white wine glass to allow the aromas to develop properly. A slightly wider bowl can also enhance the wine's complexity.
Decanting
While not always necessary for Chardonnay, decanting for 20-30 minutes can help to soften the oak and allow the fruit flavors to become more pronounced, especially in younger vintages.
