Cellar
Vinos de Potrero is a winery founded in 2008 in Mendoza by Nicolas Burdisso and his wife Belén Soler Vallé, who enthusiastically identified the Gualtallary wine-growing area as the ideal land to make great expressions of the terroir, relying from the outset on experienced professionals such as Bernardo Bossi Bonilla, one of the most respected Latin oenologists who has a great knowledge of the Mendoza region, boasting experience at prestigious wineries in the area such as Catena Zapata. Gualtallary is now one of the most appreciated sub-zones in all of Mendoza due to its ability to provide more subtle and refined expressions; it is located in the Uco Valley viticultural zone, at the foot of the Andes mountain range. Here, the sandy and calcareous soils of alluvial origin rich in skeleton, and the high altitudes of around 1,350 metres above sea level.
Description
Chardonnay from the Argentinian winery Vinos de Potrero is the ultimate expression of the new way of making white wine in Argentina. This Chardonnay from Gualtallar, the wine-growing area of the Uco Valley at the foot of the Andes mountain range, combines the purity of the fruit with the mineral notes of the terroir. A wine that, although fresh and easy to drink, is honest and complex.
