This 2016 Chardonnay from Diamandes in Mendoza's Vista Flores district reveals the mineral character that Argentine high-altitude viticulture can achieve. Cultivated in the foothills of the Andes, the wine displays the varietal's signature stone fruit and hazelnut complexities, balanced by the region's natural acidity and a measured 14.5% alcohol. The vintage presents itself with restraint and structure, suggesting another five to eight years of gradual development in bottle. This wine pairs thoughtfully with seared white fish, poultry preparations, or aged cheeses, and serves equally well as a considered aperitif.
