PRODUCT OVERVIEW/REVIEW:
In 1902, Nicola Catena, an Italian immigrant, planted his first vineyard in Mendoza, Argentina. The winery has remained under family control for four generations. Owned today by Nicolás Catena and his daughter Laura, Catena Zapata is known as the pioneer of fine wine from Argentina, and Nicolás is recognized as the vintner who revolutionized wine quality in Argentina. A trained economist, Nicolás began this revolution in the early 1980s and continues to make wines that can be counted among the best in the world. (importer notes)

The 2022 Catena Appellation Series White Clay is a blend of 60% sémillon and 40% chenin blanc from Luján de Cuyo aged on the lees for 6 months in a combination of new and seasoned French oak barrels. Full-bodied, with heady aromatics and a rich flavor profile, it has aromas of white flowers, peaches, Golden Delicious apples, honeysuckle, and subtle mineral notes that follow on the richly-textured palate. Decandence, bottled, indeed!

92 points, James Suckling:
"Medium gold hue with a light honeyed tone with waxed lemon and fine lees. Creamy and round on the medium-bodied palate with fresh, medium acidity."
