For four generations, the Catena family has cultivated vines at the foot of the Andes, in Mendoza, Argentina. In order to produce wines that could compete with the best in the world, Nicolas Catena was able to identify the best lots and rows within the family vineyards. The grapes for Chardonnay White Stones come from a select group of 27 rows planted on the lot I Vineyard "Adrianna". The term "White stones" refers to the composition of said rows of soil, with white oval stones covered by gravel. The Vineyard "Adrianna" is planted at an altitude of almost 1,500 meters above sea level, in the district of Gualtallary in Tupungato. The stony soil prevents deep root growth, providing optimum drainage. These, very poor in organic matter, soil contribute to support vines permanent stress conditions. Cold Mountain nochas facilitate a slow maturation process, with optimum retention levels of acidity and / performance has naturally low.
